Well said.
As an immigration attorney since 1999, I only wish I had written an article as excelllent as this one in explaining the need for immigration reform: https://wlr.law.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/1263/2020/02/Jagow-Final.pdf. Please take the time to read it! The author is Julia Jagow–another immigration attorney. She explains the need for immigration reform in relation to one of our many immigrant populations. I heard a candidate for president today say that he “supported immigration if it is legal immigration.” But he should read this article. If we don’t have a decent, workable legal route to offer people, that’s when being undocumented seems to be the only way. Asylum is very difficult to “win” and the criteria don’t match many of the situations our various immigrants are facing. I think more discussion with our police is essential. We need to all be on the same page. They are in the midst of preserving safety for all of us–immigrants alike. We can all hopefully meet and discuss the issues again.
I neglected to mention in my last email that I do thank the police for protecting our town. I would never be able to do what they do; risking their lives every day.
