Can we discuss viable solutions to immigration reform?? I’ll go first…

First off, I know that no matter our personal political views, that we’re all incredibly upset and divided by the egregious actions being taken *both by and against* federal immigration law enforcement. We can probably all agree that trampling on civil liberties, as well as local/state/federal law, is not a means to a viable solution, and that it only serves to inflame tensions, endanger human lives, politically divide our populous, and detract from sensible and productive dialogue.

Right? Right.

So, I wanted to create a post to propose and discuss some viable solutions. This could be in the immediate and local stage, or it could be in the long term, broader scale of state and federal legislation and reform, and beyond. The context is broad, but my hope is to host a space that encourages the suggestions that perhaps have not been discussed, but should be.

**So please contribute if you have something to share!**

—I’ll start— In the fog of all the chaos and partisan media sensationalism, I have been astounded that there has been minimal discussion about broad immigration reform, which is c-c-*clearly* needed, and the ultimate source of all this unrest.

To that end, there has been almost no mention of a bipartisan bill that was introduced this summer, the Dignity Act of 2025 (H.R. 4393), but I’ll post an AI rundown along with link to its summery in the comments. It’s active. If you support it, spread the word, share it, contact representatives, write it on protest signs and sidewalks. If it gains support, it could ultimately serve to be a pressure relief valve for our current situation, and a path toward a reform that hasn’t been altered in over 40 years.
