It is not new or unusual for the real Americans, meaning those immigrants who came to America a little bit longer ago, to fear the outsiders, the pretenders, the newcomers.

And let us not forget the Social Security system. Recent studies show that undocumented workers sustain the Social Security system with a subsidy as much as $7 billion a year. Let me repeat that: $7 billion a year.

According to the Privacy Rights Center, up to 10 million Americans are victims of ID theft each year. They have a right to be notified when their most sensitive health data is stolen.

It is so difficult to, day in and day out, hear these incredibly painful stories of the destructive nature of our broken immigration system.

The next step has to be the necessary step. It's always to put the immigrant community and the civil rights movement ahead of partisan politics.

The underlying part of any comprehensive immigration bill is family unit.
