Check out The New York Daily News - a forceful commentary by Albor Ruiz on the immigration legislation that is headed to the U.S. Senate.

From the piece: "The Senate will discuss the bill this month, and hopefully smarter, cooler heads will prevail and reject it. This is an unbelievably bad piece of legislation that, despite the hype, does nothing to make the country safer or to fix the broken immigration system.
"We have come to a point where we allowed fear and suspicion to overwhelm our judgment of what is moral and what is immoral," said Rabbi Daniel Brenner on Thursday. "Our policies should have compassion for those who come here to escape the crushing indignity of extreme poverty or persecution."
Obviously compassion was not in the minds of those who drafted and sponsored this bill."
