As an immigration attorney representing and defending undocumented individuals and families in immigration court, I know all too well the injustices and failures of our immigration system that our leaders fail to passionately fight against and correct. Almost 45% of our district’s residents are immigrants, but the American immigration system is a dream foreclosed. We build private prisons to cage immigrant children. We subject millions of people to living in fear every day, not knowing whether they can continue to live in our country, to make a livelihood, and to have the legal means and access to resources and jobs to even live here.
