As we look forward to the next century, it’s crucial to rethink immigration policies. Adjusting the narratives surrounding immigration can help align them with the nation’s values of law, human dignity, and family unity.

The current system needs evaluation and potential revision. It is important to ensure policies respect human life while maintaining the rule of law.
