Putting a human face on immigration

Because, after all, immigrants are people moving from one spot to another, but people nonetheless.

"By the way, I bristle when human beings are called "illegals." It's like saying a person's very existence is wrong, or an affront to humanity. We don't even call murderers "illegals." When did it become acceptable to dehumanize 12 million people by assigning them this tag?"

"Thank you to federal legislators who are ready to do more than bluster, who acknowledge that Washington has suffered from immigration policy paralysis for long enough, who are engaging in bipartisan work with other people of good faith and who are ready to fix this."

By the way, this article was written by a Republican. And I'm not hating on her at all.
