Immigration policy should be generous; it should be fair; it should be flexible. With such a policy we can turn to the world, and to our own past, with clean hands and a clear conscience.

I had always hoped that this land might become a safe and agreeable asylum to the virtuous and persecuted part of mankind, to whatever nation they might belong.
MILA’s Objective
The Marquette Immigration Law Association’s objective and mission is to provide encouragement and opportunities for law students to explore and learn about immigration law and its policy concerns, generally; by way of events that bring together law students, immigration lawyers and other legal professionals in the area of immigration law, and Milwaukee’s immigrant and refugee community.
And shall we refuse the unhappy fugitives from distress that hospitality which the [Natives] of the wilderness extended to our fathers arriving in this land?
Shall oppressed humanity find no asylum on this globe?

They have a right to claim it as though they were blood of the blood, and flesh of the flesh, of the men who wrote that Declaration, and so they are.
That is the electric cord in that Declaration that links the hearts of Patriotic and liberty-loving [people] together,
that will link those patriotic hearts as long as the love of freedom exists in the minds of [people] throughout the world.
It becomes a memory, it becomes a kind of ambiguity between sadness and injury and open to other kinds of perceptions.

The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon,
A fireball of lightning, and shook all our hills,
Who are all these friends, all scattered like dry leaves?
The radio says, "They are just deportees."
I feel at home in my [adopted country] but, at the same time, not. I feel at home in my [native country], and then not.
What I'm doing with my art is just cultivating this space in between.

The Irish were the first to endure the scorn and discrimination later to be inflicted, to some degree at least, on each successive wave of immigrants by already settled “Americans.” Today many of our newcomers are from Mexico. [T]hey often receive the same discriminatory treatment and opprobrium that were faced by other waves of newcomers. The same things are said today of Mexicans that were once said of Irish, Italians, Germans and Jews: ‘They'll never adjust; they can't learn the language; they won't be absorbed.’
Freedom of emigration is due to the general interests of humanity.
The course of emigration being always, from places where living is more difficult, to places where it is less
difficult, the happiness of the emigrant is promoted by the change
and as a more numerous progeny is another effect of the same cause, human life is at once made a greater blessing,
and more individuals are created to partake of it.
