As many of you may know, thousands of people gathered in downtown Brooklyn to protest the newly passed bill H.R. 4437, making it a felony to be in the US without the correct paperwork. This bill also makes it a felony to help, shield, or offer support to illegal immigrants. And yes, this includes many non-profit organizations as well as religious organizations across the country that run a vast network of social service programs offering food and emergency shelter, child care, counseling services, job training, and other aid to immigrants and refugees

How can a country that was founded by immigrants turn their backs on the people who so willingly give so much of of their blood, sweat, and tears to work in this country?
