Numerous businesses across the United States, including Minnesota, will shut their doors Monday, workers will stay home and consumers are urged not to shop.
Most of us aren’t questioning immigration constraints, only how to handle those who have immigrated without following the legal process.
The question is how aggressively are immigration laws enforced, and do they respect human rights, asylum or health needs. How are children and family treated? What about those with nothing to return to, or only violence and persecution?
Also, how responsive- if you let someone build a life over years and decades, how can you in good conscience uproot them and send them back to a place they may no longer know.
How equitably are these enforcement actions applied? While I don’t have real stats, I’ve read the claim, in multiple places, that most undocumented immigrants are those who have overstayed temporary student or work visas. Are enforcing immigration laws equally on them, or only n Spanish speaking, poor, or darker skin people?
