- Description
- COMMENTARY: As tensions rise, we're at an inflection point in our history.
If we don't work together to bring down the temperature, someone is going to get killed.
Far too many people see their political opponents as their enemies.
Media & especially social media make money intensifying our hatreds.
Politicians are incentivized to mock each other instead of work together.
As we confront the most divisive of issues, immigration, these 4 things should NOT be controversial:
1. We're a nation of laws. We need law enforcement to survive. The overwhelming majority of law enforcement officers are good people who are trying to do their best.
2. The overwhelming majority of undocumented immigrants are good people. Regardless of their status, they're not literally aliens...and deserve to be treated with basic human dignity and respect.
3. Peaceful protestors should be protected.
