The sun peeped from the sky to brighten up a chilly wintry day. It allowed the Interfaith Council for Community Development to hold an Immigration Rally on Liberty Avenue. The purpose of the Rally was to draw attention to the flaws in the US Immigration system and to ask the Trump Administration to redress them.
The Rally appealed to the Trump Administration to treat two categories of persons with compassion and humanity. Who or what are these categories? It is well known that many immigrants came to America in search of a better way of life. They have lived in the US without breaking the law and have deep roots in the country.
According to the statistics there are millions of persons in America that live in the shadows. They have been resident in America for over 20 years, have children in the schools and work several jobs to maintain a family, but they lack official papers.
