It only makes common sense, and is a moral and ethical policy, not to discard or deport Dreamers. To do so would run counter to every sensible and good-hearted ideal that Americans hold dear.
Recent events have understandably raised some questions about how Marsy’s Law for Wisconsin might be invoked in situations when individuals become victims of the use of excessive force by law enforcement.
As we speak, the Black community is being devastated by catastrophic losses, both loss of life from COVID-19 and at the hands of police in a different kind of fatal epidemic. Black men and boys are especially vulnerable.
These may be challenging times, but I am confident that if we, as a community and as a nation, want to live our lives as a free society, then we must take the necessary steps to change the systemic culture of racism.
Madison deserves community-based safety strategies. Investments in housing, mental health services, health care, education, youth development and living wages reduce crime more than policing can ever hope to.
