1) legal path to citizenship for dreamers
2) fair and expeditious process for asylum seekers and unlawful entrants
3) Due process at all levels of immigration enforcement.
4) Kind an dignified treatment of all who enter our borders. [How we treat others under our watch/custody reflects on all of us]
5) Effective, I say again, cost effective border security (what we already have)(see Chris94's posts)
6) Balanced and measured immigration policies and laws
Immigration enforcement is much tighter post 9/11. Fact.
Trump sells fear to hayseeds. Fact.
Allow Congress to debate away re immigration reform. Have at it.
But, I know that spending billions on a wall is foolhardy.
I know that conflating asylum seekers and unlawful immigrants with criminals and terrorists, dishonors all of us.
