We can welcome new people and protect our communities

I know the topic of immigration gets people heated, but I honestly think we can hold two thoughts at once: — Yes, we need laws and borders. — And yes, we can still treat people like human beings. My grandparents came here with nothing but a suitcase and an accent. They worked factory jobs, learned English, paid taxes, and raised a family. Every generation after them had a better shot — because someone let them in. Now I see folks arriving today, often fleeing real danger, and I can’t help but think: this is the same story, just a different time. We don’t have to choose between compassion and safety. We can build systems that do both. It’s easy to say “America first,” but part of what made America great in the first place was that it wasn’t afraid to open the door. #ImmigrationPolicyNow #ImmigrationMatters #Immigration
