On immigration reform, Republicans and Democrats agree more than they realize | Luis F. Carrasco (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As the Trump administrationâs misguided immigration enforcement efforts continue apace, ensnaring more and more people in a system that seems to be tuned for minimal accountability and maximum callousness, the hope of immigration reform has never felt more out of reach. Yet, if you look at the data, most Americans are united in their desire for change, and Congress â for all its faults and lack of follow-through â reliably puts forward bipartisan proposals. That was the message at a recent
ICE cannot survive past the Trump administration | Luis F. Carrasco (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Another day, another video on social media featuring U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents behaving badly. Sometimes they act like bullies, intimidating goons trampling the Constitution. Other times they show theyâve learned nothing from their deadly encounters in Minnesota and Texas, using excessive force and putting people in harmâs way. And every time, my blood boils at the rampant thuggery on display. I abhor facile slogans, but as more and more incidents pile up, this oneâs
The problem is not that we disagree; itâs how we disagree | Luis F. Carrasco (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I love hearing from readers. From those who agree and those who disagree.

I like to consider myself a reasonable person open to all reasonable points of view. Politically, my favorite people are those who will fight for what they think is right but can understand and respect those they disagree with because theyâre standing up for their own beliefs. Take my belief that the rules were being followed regarding people presenting themselves at the southern border during the Biden administration. My left-leaning bias led me to assume that officials were following the law
How the White House turned a Pa. trooperâs death into an immigration scare story | Luis F. Carrasco (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pennsylvania State Trooper Michael E. Pahira Jr., 44, would still be alive if Michael Bon had not come here from Haiti. That is what the Trump administration wants people to focus on. It was devastating enough that the veteran of nearly two decades with the state police was fatally struck on July 1 by a tractor-trailer the authorities say was driven by Bon. But the administration, which since last year has consistently targeted immigrants with both bullets and blame, didnât stop there. Playing
