We need a Democratic debate about immigration. It is all the cartel boss in the White House talks about. How about having more than one dumb ass question about Dreamers in a debate? Here are some suggestions:
What does “comprehensive immigration reform” mean to you? What are essential goals of immigration reform legislation?
Besides not putting kids in cages, would your administration prioritize and facility the admission of asylum seekers and refugees, especially children?
Attorneys General Sessions and Barr have issued a number of decisions unilaterally re-writing established immigration law. Would you commit to reversing those decisions early in your administration?
Here we are in Las Vegas, where the immigration court denies nearly 90% of asylum cases. What would you do about immigration courts that have denial rates way beyond the national average of 60%?
Should people ever be subject to detention without review by a judge who has authority to release them?
Would your administration seek to assist US employers in hiring foreign workers and sponsoring them for residence or would you engage in labor protectionism?
What would you do to hold CBP and ICE accountable?
So many more. What else should be asked?
