The current immigration policy in our nation needs to be reformed to emphasize empathy, dignity, and the fundamental human rights of every individual. Also, the racial justice issue plaguing the county requires immediate attention; systematic changes should be implemented to ensure that all citizens, regardless of race or ethnicity, have equal opportunities and protections under the law. We must strive to create a society where people are judged by their character and actions, not the color of their skin or country of origin.
