Summary

This quote suggests the existence of a discrepancy between our ideals of equality and our actions concerning immigration. Despite advocating for equal treatment of all individuals, our immigration laws contradict our public assertions. This contradiction implies that we condemn and verbally denounce discriminatory ideals, yet implement policies that endorse them. The quote highlights the inconsistency between what we declare publicly and the practices we engage in, specifically in relation to immigration, thus calling for a reevaluation of our beliefs and policies.
