I care about being humane. I care about due process. I care about not assuming someone is an illegal immigrant just because they have darker skin or speak a language other than English. I care about people getting their time in front of a judge before they're flown off to some country that they may not have even set foot in before in their lives. I care about elected officials -- the people who represent me, regardless of whether or not I voted for them -- treating people like people, and not like animals.
To answer your questions, though, I do think we should have open-er borders. I think we should have easier paths to residency and citizenship, for people who want it. I'm sick of the isolationism and xenophobia. It's disgusting. It's unamerican.
