Donald Trump and maga Republicans pay tax money to ICE agents who illegally round up hard woring immigrants

Compassionate Immigratin Reform, doing it the right way: 

Echo opinion letter published in the Philadelphia Inquirer

Immigration reform. Two words that have been a long time coming and something I believe our country needs. However, this administration hides behind — as it does with every policy — lies and deceit. What this administration is doing is not immigration reform, nor is it rounding up criminal and violent offenders. 

Reports coming out of the prison camp in Florida describe unthinkable human rights violations and even worse conditions in the prison in El Salvador. This is not what our country is about.

I am all for immigration reform, but instead of locking up someone who is here illegally, maybe we should show them a path to citizenship. Many of the people picked up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are hardworking, taxpaying immigrants who just want a better life. Isn’t that how most of us got here❓ 

Aren’t most of us immigrants or descended from immigrants❓❗ Our ancestors wanted better for their families than they had. And so do the many people coming here. Why not put policies in place that will do just that instead of rounding up people who don’t look like they belong❓ It’s a shame what this country has become.
