That’s great. In theory I believe people who violate the law should be handled in a safe and sane manner as well. We need to do some serious work updating the laws and procedures regarding immigrating to this country. They are archaic and cruel. I will not be made to fear people who simply come here for a better life, who provide vital labor, and who are less likely to commit violent crime than people who were born here. As long as a law separates families, keeps people in inhumane conditions, or puts literal children before a judge without counsel or so much as an interpreter I am against that law in its entirety.
