Wonder why the country is so divisive? Because ‘progressives’ keep splitting people up into little niche groups. What immigrants will they defend? The article doesn’t state it but I’m guessing the immigrants that they feel need to be ‘defended’ are those facing deportation for entering the country unlawfully. Let’s be transparent and state what it is you are intending. I am so tired of politicians who are (theoretically) elected by the citizens spending more time worrying about people who are not citizens and who broke the law to come here. It actually is very transparent if you realize that it’s another action taken to try to secure voters to keep them in power. Is there a defense fund for homeless veterans or opioid addicts?
