Immigration

We must stop Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant policy and his unconstitutional actions against undocumented and Green card-holding people. Trump has deported people simply for being pro-Palestine, critical of the Trump Administration, or even for making fun of the President or the Vice President. This is simply unconstitutional. Non-citizens have First Amendment rights just like citizens. Undocumented people who have never committed a crime are not just being deported but sent to concentration camps in nations they are not from. Trump is treating people less than animals, and I will stand up against this and always fight for both Immigrants and undocumented people.

I support abolishing ICE.  ICE is a relatively new agency being formed in 2003 by George Bush and an unnecessary one. If someone commits a crime and needs to be deported, then that can be dealt with by the police. There is no reason to have an agency whose only purpose is to terrorize people like our farmers, construction workers, service workers, and neighbors.   

Unfortunately, many Democratic politicians have become more anti-immigrant but I call on Democrats to do the opposite. We must be clear that we need more immigration, not less. That immigrants and undocumented people should not live in fear. I will fight to create laws that remove red tape that slows down the process of non-citizens becoming citizens or permanent residents and fight for the federal government to hire more immigration judges to make the slow process of processing cases of asylum much faster.
