Report: The Growing Human Rights Crisis Along Washington’s Northern Border

One America has issued a report documenting the patterns of practices implemented by the U.S. Border Patrol on the northern border in the State of Washington.  

The following findings are from the executive summary:

• Border Patrol engages in systematic profiling of religious and ethnic minorities.
• Collaboration between Border Patrol and other agencies, including local law enforcement, emergency responders, and the courts, results in a confusing and dangerous fusion where vital services are perceived as immigration enforcement.
• U.S. Border Patrol’s behavior and dangerous partnerships with other agencies have created extensive fear and mistrust, leading to community members’ unwillingness to call 911, access the courts, and even to leave their house to attend worship services or fulfill basic needs.

Smarter immigration enforcement at work.

People often get so hung up on what they believe are the nvgitaee aspects of immigration, that they forget all the positive contributions that immigrant people and non Americans have made to America as a nation and American culture. The first immigrants in America were Europeans, therefore all white people in America are essentially descendants of immigrants. It is mind boggling to me why the people who are against illegal immigration go so hard trying to fight against illegal immigration when they are not real Americans in the way that they interpret being a real American . In my opinion the fight against illegal immigration is just another way to be racist and discriminate against people who are not white. There are illegal immigrants from all over the world not just Latin America, yet you never hear people fighting about illegal French immigrants or illegal Scottish immigrants or any other European nation, you only hear about groups that are not white.
