We want justice.
That phrase, yes.
I still believe that all deportations are wrong.
So when we're talking about things like illegal entry, we're actually talking about administrative laws, right?
We're not talking about criminal law.
Yes.
And the reason I say that is because we have a criminal system.
It is imperfect, but it exists.
And it is one that if we accept as the process by which we want to engage with these issues, right, the issues of harm, issues of criminality, what have you.
then we need to make sure that it is one that isn't also discriminatory on the basis of where people were born.
To subject someone who has committed a crime to both a criminal system and then additionally to an immigration system that also detains them in the very same facilities that people who are convicted of criminal convictions are also held, right?
and then deported and ripped away from everything they know and love, that is also punishment.
And that is punishment not on the basis of the crime they committed because they already served their time when they were processed through the criminal system.
It is double punishment.
And if we truly believe that double jeopardy is something that is unconstitutional, something that is unethical, something that is against the principles of equality in this country, we cannot subject people to that on the basis of where they were born.
I am someone who has felt deeply abandoned by the establishment politics that far too often see my community as merely a statistic, that far too often only shows up to explain away the circumstances that the politics that they have voted for time and time again, which have impacted our community in ways that they do not feel the effects of.
And as someone who has had to live with the question of whether I can even afford to stay in the city I love,
I think we can see from each of these candidates that they have exactly what it takes to succeed.
And we've heard from Republicans time and again that they're going to try and make these candidates the face of the Democratic Party.
To them, I say that we are ready for that because for far too long, we have been told that it is not possible to fight for working people and win.
