People who immigrate to the U.S. come here to find safety and opportunity and contribute to our communities. We should be welcomed with dignity, not demonized.

agreed 100%. Again, most of us are nothing but immigrants myself included the cruelty and violence we are subjecting them to again. I hate to use it, but nothing to compare it to except Nazi Germany. Should we be proud of that of course not it’s disgusting.

I’m sitting here watching Franklin & Bash. Loved you work. We’ll all get through this and come out better than before. Keep fighting, marching, and protesting. Future Americans will thank us. There are more Americans with you than against you.

Trumps administration is trying to tell Americans how we should treat immigrants but we were all immigrants at one point, accept for the Native Americans! We resist because we are humanitarians not racist criminals! We are empathy, kindness, love, patriots & fight for what's right! 🇺🇲❤️

Individuals who emigrate legally are most certainly not welcomed by this administration. They've arrested multiple individuals walking into immigration facilities to conduct their scheduled appointments.

The laws are fine. But this government is abusive. No one agreed to have the thugs of ice hurting people and bringing violence to our country. These horrible prisons that they put people in. The government is making a fortune on these prisons. As long as Trump and his minions earn money 

People don’t choose to become asylum seekers or immigrants away from their language, culture, and history because they “want to” - they choose because they have to. I was taught that we are a ‘melting pot’ but we’re not - we’re seen as a beacon of hope for those that are oppressed and downtrodden.

The Chinese Exclusion Act. Gentleman's Agreement. Those limited the number of far east Asians. The vitriol Irish immigrants were met with. We imported Africans. But we don't treat them like 'real Americans.' Jews. Italians. Trump is reaching into a very old playbook. Why not? He's very old.

It is shocking and sad. Even more so that this country systematically destroyed/meddled in immigrants home country which forced them to leave in the 1st place

It’s the “I got mine, but screw you” attitude of so many Americans who are children of immigrants that floors me. Pulling up the ladder behind you is a terrible thing to do.

Making this statement is not sufficient. We must confront the decades of cherry-picked mis- and disinformation the right has pumped out from their "think" tanks, indoctrinating Rs with the false idea that immigrants do only economic harm, and social harm on top of that. We're in an infowar.
