Dems: No Deporting Children or Non-criminals.

That's the headline at the Huffington Post now. I'm proud that both candidates for the democratic nomination for President have made this very clear.

Republicans in Congress and running for their presidential nomination are loudly boasting who they can deport faster, with greater disregard for human rights and who will support even more restrictive legislation.

It's tearing families apart and they actually improve our great country. They are not a threat to anyone.

I also understand the argument that the immigration reform bill sponsored by Ted Kennedy was worth passing at the time because we had a democratic controlled Congress. There's little chance of it passing now with a republican controlled Congress. A lot of people have suffered because it didn't pass. A lot more than ten people.

I will pass on that two. I am not going to be okay with corporations exploiting foreign workers to drive wages down for American Citizens. They need to make a lot better immigration bill than that.
