A powerful argument for separating immigration enforcement from the criminal legal system, by one of the nation's foremost crimmigration experts

In the fevered battles over immigration, Democrats and Republicans alike agree on this: that migrants who have committed a crime have no place in this country. But targeting migrants because they have committed a crime is a short-sighted appeal to nativist fear. To predicate a migrant's right to stay in the country on whether they are law-abiding and therefore deserving or criminal and undeserving does little to improve public safety and has an especially devastating impact on low-income migrants of color.
