Unity and Equity
the vast majority of
immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are
good neighbors. …have mercy… on those in our
communities whose children fear that their parents will
be taken away.

“…have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender
children in Democratic, Republican, and Independent families, some who fear for their lives. The people who
pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meat packing plants, who wash the
dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals. [They]…may not be citizens or have
the proper documentation. But the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are
good neighbors. …have mercy… on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will
be taken away. And that you help those who are fleeing war zones and persecution in their own lands to find
compassion and welcome here.”
