Anecdotal, but my center-right parents who are “very concerned” about the border and consider it a top issue emphatically agreed when I said we need to make it much easier to become a citizen here.

There is a common sense pro-immigration lane there if any of our leaders want to take it!
Wow. New CBS poll finds majority (55%) supports the *general goal* of deportations, but a bigger majority (56%) dislikes how Trump is carrying them out. And 63% want due process.

Again, we need a better discourse around public opinion on immigration, as I've argued:

ICE is manually changing (revoking) the immigration *status* of international students without informing either universities or the students themselves.

We’re in this mess in large part bc the average American is uninformed about fundamentals of civics, history, basic biology, economics, etc, and media and the internet are not meeting the moment.

Is anyone organizing teach-ins or similar for the general public, whether irl or online?
