Flawed All Or Nothing Immigration Reform Strategy

Since I started paying attention to politics in junior high school, I’ve considered myself to be a liberal – and often a so-called “radical” liberal.But as time has passed, I have noticed that my views do not always jive with the opinions of those considered liberals in the media.  Take immigration.  Like my colleagues, I am angry at what is going at our country’s southwest borders.I am angry with the mistreatment of poor, starving, luckless folks by border agents, and the shameless grandstanding of politicians who only care to manipulate the public to vote for them. But I am also upset with my side of the political aisle for not understanding that an “all or nothing” stance will not get us, as a nation, closer to a resolution for those vulnerable souls in need of help and compassion.Related Podcasts:Episode 87: Why Immigration Reform Depends On Defeating SmugglingEpisode 4: Fighting Hate With Hate Is Not The AnswerRecommended Links For More Information:Is The Utah Compact The Beginning Of An Immigration Reform Solution?Lessons From 1965: Why Skills-Based Reform Is Xenophobia In Disguise
