Thanks!
Immigrants enrich our country immensely. I just don't understand why some people seem to despise them. Besides the cultural enrichment, they pay taxes, but can't collect Social Security.

Inspite of what the trump administration claims, they commit crimes at far lower rate than citizens, they are very warm, giving, strongly religious and family centered. In their mania to evict these fine peoples, the government is deporting asylum seekers, and those complying legally with laws that allow for a path to citizenship. American citizens have also been targeted! Congress has been starving the Immigration Department of funds for decades, resulting in inadequate numbers of lawyers, judges and other workers, which results in the process taking an inordinate amount of time to attain citizenship. It has been a favorite political football, resulting in division and needlessly destroying families. They are hard workers, often taking jobs Americans don't want.

Everyone here came from somewhere else, even possibly the Native peoples from crossing the Bering Strait.

This immorality has brought great shame on America.

This inhumane practice needs to come to a screeching halt.
