Some anti-immigrant folks like to say: “We’re not against immigration, we’re against “illegal” immigration.”

If that were true, then we would make documented immigration easy & safe.

But each & every day, this administration is grinding legal, documented immigration to a halt.
About 1/2 of all the cases I see at work are immigration related. Many are people who‘ve been on the path to citizenship for years.

Steps that are supposed to be ~30 days are taking up to a year. Some, like work authorizations, are so delayed they’re forcing people out of jobs.
If people were actually concerned about undocumented people, the clear solution would be to offer documentation. It’s safer & secure for everyone.

But there is no “law & order” in an immigration system of sheer chaos, where rules change every day for the sole goal of exclusion.
