However regarding immigration law, the reality is that this law isn’t designed to distinguish between people who are dangerous and people trying to survive. It effectively lumps millions of hardworking people into the same category as violent offenders, without concern for justice or safety.
Trump scapegoats undocumented immigrants as a group and blames them for crime and economic problems. It is cynical manipulation designed to appeal to people who fear crime or have been victims of it.
In fact, it is poverty that causes most crime, and our economic problems are due to the reckless policy choices made by the ultra-wealthy and the politicians they control. Mass deportation does nothing to address the real causes of injustice and insecurity in this country. In fact it serves to distract from the real causes of the problems we are facing.
