I, like many others, have been thinking a lot about the direction the United States is moving in. The United States has always been a nation built by immigrants, people who came searching for safety, opportunity, and a better life.
In recent months, immigration enforcement has taken a sharp turn. Since the beginning of the current administration’s second term, immigration enforcement has been significantly intensified, with a renewed focus on large-scale deportations. As someone who grew up in the United States and is now watching from afar, I feel a deep concern. Not just for the individuals affected, but for the long-term social and economic costs to the country.
