What a wonderful way to spend my morning - judging a HS Improv Competition!🎉🎉🎉

We can’t keep letting laws like this slide. Safety shouldn’t come at the expense of justice for marginalized communities. The Laken Riley Act isn’t the solution—it’s another example of the problem.

The problem? Vague language and selective enforcement. These kinds of laws don’t fix anything—they just give more power to a system that targets the most vulnerable. It’s not protection; it’s prejudice in disguise. It’s hatred.

Day 4 - Continued prejudice

We’ve seen it before: laws that sound good on paper but end up hurting marginalized communities. The Laken Riley Act might seem promising, but it’s built on the same system that already discriminates.

3. Crime and Safety: Data consistently shows that immigrants, including undocumented ones, are less likely to commit crimes than native-born citizens.

4. Costs: Estimates vary widely on the net financial impact of illegal immigration, depending on the methodology and scope of analysis.

2. Public Resources: Research indicates that they often contribute more in taxes than they use in services, especially through payroll taxes for programs they may not access (like Social Security).

Some key points to consider:
1. Economic Impact: Studies show that overall, undocumented workers contribute to the economy by filling essential roles, paying taxes, and driving consumer spending.

and communities in general, taking precious resources away from the poorest Americans who need them most. Illegal immigration costs our country billions and billions of dollars each year…And I will therefore take every lawful action at my disposal to address this crisis. And that’s what we’re doing”

Day 3 - Don’t be fooled. This is about hate, not policy. Trump states, “Illegal immigration affects the lives of all Americans. Illegal immigration hurts American workers; burdens American taxpayers; and undermines public safety; and places enormous strain on local schools, hospitals…

Weird - I just used it.

Additionally, discussions have sparked regarding the Spanish-language version of the White House website, which is was taken down but “expected to return soon”.

The math isn’t that hard. He played y’all. We’re getting what you deserve (yes, that’s what I meant).

Day 2 - way too much to focus on.

Recent data shows that Hispanic voters played a significant role in shaping the 2024 election (46%).

Also trans rights are human rights.

Day 1 of a familiar paradigm, curious as to what fresh hell each day will bring. A reminder that climate change is real, guns are killing students in schools, and immigrants are people.

Today, we honor Dr. King’s enduring legacy of justice and equality. As he wisely stated, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” It’s imperative that we remain vigilant and committed to Dr. King’s vision, ensuring that the arc of the morality continues to bend toward justice.
