Whereas each immigrant is worthy of respect, and

Whereas an immigration plan must protect the dignity of all, and

Okay, here I fall apart. And this is format for a resolution rather than a platform plank, I'll review my language for planks and recast this except that there really should be some meat in here, even if it's not meaty at this point... uhhhh...
