8/8: Why This Matters—Beyond Politics

This isn’t about left or right. It’s about restoring the American promise: a fair chance, a safe home, and the opportunity to belong.

When we get immigration right, we strengthen our communities, our economy, and our moral standing in the world.

7/8: The Cost of Inaction—And the Price of a Better System

Mass deportation would directly cost hundreds of billions and also devastate our economy. Fixing our system—with efficient courts, legal work, and integration—would only cost tens of billions a year. That's just smarter.

6/8: A Path to Citizenship—Especially for Children

Kids brought here at a young age deserve a clear path to citizenship. Research shows legal status leads to better education, more contributions, and active citizenship.

Investing in these children is a smart investment in America’s future.

5/8: Assimilation—Not Erasure, but Belonging

Ellis Island worked because it expected newcomers to become Americans while still honoring their roots.

Today, we can do this again: require basic integration, celebrate unique cultures, and build stronger, more cohesive communities.

4/8: The Economic Case—Why Fixing Immigration Helps Us All

Immigrants contribute billions in taxes and fill vital jobs. Legalizing and integrating immigrants boosts wages, drives innovation, and helps keep America young.

When people can work legally and contribute, everyone benefits.

3/8: The Human Cost—Families in Limbo, Kids Without a Future

Imagine arriving in a new country, hoping for safety and a fresh start, only to spend years in legal limbo. Kids fear losing their home. Parents live in fear of ICE. This is a human tragedy, not just policy failure.

2/8: The Problem We Face Today—Chaos and Uncertainty

Today, our immigration system is broken. Over 10 million undocumented immigrants live in limbo. It can take 7 years just to get an asylum hearing.

The promise of order and opportunity has been replaced by chaos and fear for too many families.
