I frequently hear the tired old song that our immigration system is broken and must be fixed. Inevitably, the next line is a conclusory shortcut to thinking that involves massive fencing, rounding up morenos with military tactics, the forced separation of families, demonizing Spanish, or some combination thereof. Changing the debate surrounding immigration policy, and turning others to see immigrants as persons and not objects, requires that we reject the terms that are carelessly taken for granted. So I begin with this. I challenge the very premise that the system is broken at all.
