The killing of LORENZO SALGADO ARAUJO in HOUSTON and the concerns raised by LULAC about ICE enforcement should force our nation to ask serious questions about immigration policies and accountability.
No community should feel hunted or targeted because of its ethnicity. The use of billions of taxpayer dollars for immigration enforcement must come with strict oversight, transparency, and respect for human rights. The absence of body cameras during operations raises troubling concerns about accountability and the public’s right to know what happened.
Families are suffering. Children are going to bed without their fathers, and spouses are separated from their loved ones. Meanwhile, many farmers and industries face labor shortages that could be addressed through humane and practical immigration reforms.
Our nation’s moral traditions and religious teachings repeatedly call us to “welcome the stranger” and treat every person with compassion. Security and humanity are not opposites. America can enforce its laws while still protecting dignity, justice, and the fundamental rights of every person.
