We discuss how out of date immigration laws are and why the only cure is comprehensive immigration reform from Congress. In the face of rising arrests and deportations by ICE, this is the perfect episode to remind us that we still need immigration reform.

1) Be welcoming and model inclusion in your communities

2) Contact your member of Congress and demand comprehensive immigration reform
