At one point in my early life, I was undocumented.  Because I lacked a legal document, I lacked the protection of the rule of law.  If I was deemed to be inconvenient or potentially dangerous, I could have been eliminated.  I was vulnerable.   And then, I was born.  I was issued a birth […]Continue Reading
A couple of weeks ago I had the privilege of attending the National Immigration Forum’s Midwest conference, Forging a New Consensus on Immigrants and America.

I’m going to make a prediction that I don’t think is mere wishful thinking: 2013 will be the year that immigration reform finally passes.    I (personally) and the organization for which I work (World Relief) have been advocating for significant reforms to our nation’s immigration laws since at least 2006, when President […]Continue Reading
