I just returned from one of my frequent trips to El Paso, Texas,
visiting friends and family. Seeing how the recent caravans of refugees and the
mass detention facilities in the area have created a huge political vacuum
there, I see how the issue of immigration enforcement has ignited locally, an
issue that impacts our community.
I think it’s really stupid and a waste of money having ICE agents and
Border Patrol Officers arresting and tracking down undocumented people.
I’m all for arresting criminals who pose a threat to society. But there
is such a blatant hypocrisy within federal law that ignores all of the
legitimate businesses that attract and hire undocumented people.
