We need to be unabashedly pro immigration, pro asylum and pro amnesty, and stop being timid. The tide has turned against Trump. We need to be making opinions that immigration is good for the country and what Trump is doing is detrimental.

Notwithstanding Trump’s Threats, Can the Government Really Take Away a Person’s Citizenship? blog.cyrusmehta.com/?p=4712
Trump starts with deporting noncitizens and everyone cheers, and now he wants to strip the citizenship of a natural born citizen because she is a "Threat to Humanity" and deport her. If you still cheer for him you probably have lost leave of your senses as he will next want to…
In my years of immigration law practice I have always been moved by how Americans have gone out of their way to help their immigrant neighbors, friends, employees and members of their religious organizations, which is why I have opposed trying to appease restrictionists as they…
It’s almost like Americans were never fundamentally, inevitably “anti-immigration” and Democrats never had to just put their hands up and meekly chase Republicans (and lose), and affirm all their anti-immigrant positions that helped get us here at all!

We are fighting on both constitutional and moral principles that Trump does not trample on the rights of a single child born in the US nytimes.com/2025/07/10/us/…
