To the editor: Whereas some Democrat leaders have been rising a spine in supporting immigrant communities towards the continued Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids, I couldn’t assist however assume that a lot of the struggling skilled by immigrants at present might have been averted (“Trump officials vow to intensify immigration raids despite legal challenges, bad polls, public backlash,” July 14). Allow us to always remember that from 2009-2010, the Democrats managed each the presidency and Congress however did not go immigration reform. President Obama’s advisors would later state that he was too busy attempting to avoid wasting the U.S. financial system.
Right this moment, the Democrats certain might use the hundreds of thousands of future voters they may have gotten had they handed immigration reform again then. Certainly, maybe these hundreds of thousands of latest voters may need made the distinction for Democrats in 2016 and 2024. As an alternative, Obama would depart workplace with the nickname “deporter-in-chief.”
