"First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me."

Solving the immigration debate in a manner that will work best for American citizens and our posterity must be based on a rational analysis of the facts. We must trust that the best solutions in a democratic and free society start with open and honest conversations between citizens and not top down world views, formulated in an ideological vacuum by wealthy global elites and plutocrats. As Josh Barro aptly stated in his article, “You do not need to be a nationalist to understand that voters will expect policies to be made in their interest.”
