Immigration is good, actually

  I’m tired of the hateful nonsense directed at immigrants.

  I’m disappointed that hardly any elected officials — either in Alabama or in our federal government — defend immigration as a vital, constructive force in our country.

  I’m done with the idea that I have to treat people waving signs saying “Mass Deportation Now” and cheering bloody-minded attacks on peaceful communities as good-faith political actors.

  And I despise the fact that we allow the most paranoid people in the country to set the terms of the immigration “debate.”
