You'll hear nearly everyone agree that our immigration system is broken.
What you won't hear much is who made it that way.
The original sin was seeing people as a threat, unwanted, and unvetted.
That's why we talk of border security, not border prosperity.

Why we're stuck in an endless game of Pong, arguing whether Dreamers can be traded for a wall.
Why we make it impossible for people who want to contribute to contribute. Preventing them from realizing their potential.
Why we make laws hard to comply with but easy to break.

Like jailing women and children, herding them into private prisons.
Breaking up families and saying it promotes the rule of law.
Removing judicial review from arbitrary actions of immigration enforcement agents.
Trying to ban a religion in the name of security.

What if we said: Enough. We want to attract people to live here and contribute to humanity. We want them to enjoy life with their families. We view hard work and determination as a highly desirable attribute. We want to make it easier to prosper.
We're not so shortsighted as to think deporting a problem solves it. We want to invest in world prosperity and not shut off our borders like North Korea does.
We're not afraid of people with different values because there is good in all human cultures.

We will use our diversity of culture, religion, language and color to incentivize the noble traits of men and women.
We won't be stingy about sharing the pie. We'll bake a bigger one.
If we get even halfway there, the forces that led to shutdowns, bans, and raids won't exist.

So stop talking a out border security and threats as if solving these issues will lead to prosperity.
Prosperity comes from what our country was founded on: a democratization of power.
Not by asphyxiation of people's energies. And that's what our immigration policy does.

We can and must vote people out who only want to reverse the democratization.
Who are hooking up their rich friends at the expense of everyone else.
Travel the world and see how far that led to prosperity.
Shoot for prosperity, and safety will naturally follow.
