You very frequently see Democrats talk about how we're a nation of immigrants, and immigration is wonderful and has been great for the US, and that the right's opposition to immigration is just racism and xenophobia - but there's no larger vision for what immigration should look like. And I see this in some ways as being parallel to the way we've had no large vision for what healthcare should look like.

Writer Brianna Rennix outlines a left approach to building a humane immigration policy - rejecting both the nationalist exploitation of the Republican right, and the weak rightward compromises of the Democratic Party - towards a policy centered on safety, labor solidarity, and legal representation for workers and families on every side of the border.
