This administration has made it clear in no uncertain words or actions. They don’t want immigrants. And if you think this is bad policy, please stop voting for them. Please vote for the alternative candidates. This is the easiest way to fix this nonsense.

I will vote in midterms. Enough is enough.
I don't think voting is going to make a very meaningful dent in the issue.
Why not?
I have participated in democracy exactly once. It was the only time in my life I was eligible to vote. My vote made no difference and the course the United States took is now irreversible.

Prior to being able to vote, I watched one unsatisfactory candidate after another get elected to the US Presidency despite the obvious presence of a much preferable and more qualified candidate.

Still, even if I had voted and my preferred candidates had won, it's not clear to me that this would have changed anything. Our world is not run in public.
