The Laken Riley Act purports to enhance public safety, but its indiscriminate deportation provisions would tear families apart and undermine due process. This punitive legislation relies on flawed premises about immigration and crime rates. Studies show undocumented immigrants commit fewer crimes than U.S. citizens. Deportations destabilize communities and waste taxpayer dollars on cruel, ineffective policies. I urge you to reject this misguided act that would do more harm than good. We need comprehensive immigration reform that keeps families together and upholds American values of justice and human rights.
