Today is #InternationalMigrantsDay

Our country is a beacon of freedom. But there is one type of freedom that is not talked about much: freedom of movement. It may be voluntary or forced, but one thing is clear: it must be with dignity.
Today, I honor my parents, displaced in the Partition of India. I honor the clients from 115 countries I've served for 15 years, many right here in Virginia. I honor our lawmakers, advocates, teachers, and men & women in uniform who have fought to protect freedom of movement.
And today, I call out the opportunistic bigots who've been fomenting at the mouth at America's magnificent diversity. I call out the elected "leaders" who gorge themselves on a diet of division. I call out the prison-industrial complex for profiting from human incarceration.
