  1. The problem here is that you present statistics without references to legitimate supporting data from the census bureau or other recognized authority. You also are incorrect saying “we do not know . . . ” because we do know. All such persons are leaving difficult lives by seeking safety and security here, the same motivations that have produced immigration for centuries. Without a more thorough presentation of data (not references to individual cases), your letter sounds suspiciously like political posturing.

  2. More undocumented foreigners were deported by Democratic presidents than Republican presidents. It is a fact. Look it up. That said, a policy of resentment and hatred for immigrants is not a plan. If Republicans really cared about solving actual problems instead of fomenting hatred they would have supported the bipartisan bill drafted by Oklahoma Senator James Lankford—but they did not. For Republicans now the American Dream is fascism. Congratulations. Well done…

  3. Trump’s approach is the opposite of the American dream and is rooted in simple racism. Even Christian refugees from Burma are now blocked from fleeing religious persecution.

    Trump cares about destroying America’s place in the world. History will judge his supporters, like Jim Banks, poorly.
