I've seen the difficulty my family members have faced to achieve legal residency and citizenship in a system designed to fail them. My family, neighborhood, and workplace are better because of immigration. I believe that everyone deserves representation in court regardless of status. I believe it is a moral failing of our country that children and the vulnerable must appear unaccompanied. The current regime and fascist pedagogs want to make us believe that immigrants and asylum seekers are our enemies and have purposefully created a nation-wide crisis to make their lies appear true. I refuse to ignore the evidence of my eyes -- my immigrant family and friends and colleagues make my community better and richer. Not our government. I'm contributing so that more people have access to the resources they need to navigate the system and become thriving members of this country. Politicians won't do it. But I'll contribute what I can.
