Defending the rights of immigrants, people seeking asylum, incarcerated people, and everyone facing deportation IS patriotic. On this #IndependenceDay, we reflect on what America stands for and recommit to the fight for progress. No one should have to face physical exile from home and separation from family and community. As we celebrate America’s history today, we cannot forget that the concept of freedom, in this country, is limited. To realize the dream of a brighter future for the #UnitedStates, we must continue the work to advance fairness and dignity for all. https://lnkd.in/eaAAQRWe

How is defending the rights of “illegal” immigrants, people seeking asylum “who are NOT citizens”, incarcerated people “who have committed crimes”, and everyone facing deportation “because they came to the country illegally or committed crimes” patriotic? No “Legal citizen” should have to face physical exile from home and separation from family and community.
