Martin O’Malley: Our Immigration Policy Is Not Only Unjust – It’s Un-American!
Former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley is decidedly critical of America’s immigration policies. He pulls np punches in this Huffington Post commentary:
“Our nation’s current policy on immigration reform and the treatment of refugees is not just disappointing; it is directly opposed to the founding principles and the most enduring values of our nation.
Today, yes today, the United States of America maintains the largest system of immigrant detention camps of any nation on the planet. Not North Korea, not Yemen, not the People’s Republic of China, but us. The People of the United States.
Have we not learned the lessons of our shameful internment of Japanese Americans, of Irish immigrants, of our turning away of those fleeing the Holocaust in Nazi Germany?”
