“And you shall hallow the fiftieth year. You shall proclaim liberty throughout the land for all its inhabitants.” (Leviticus 25:10) This famous quote, written on the Liberty Bell is supposed to inspire Americans to respond to those oppressed to find freedom on our shores. It is an ideal we aspire to but have great difficulty achieving. It is time to expect more from our leaders in working together to create a pathway to citizenship. It is a complicated problem and I have no doubt that with the correct motivation and attention, we can solve this humanitarian crisis.
