Pulitzer Prize -winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas spent decades in the United States as an undocumented immigrant.

Vargas says immigration is not one -size-fits-all and immigrants are not monolith.

The majority of undocumented people in this country, they are not the people who are committing crimes, it's actually American citizens.

Ruben Navarrette : We have racialized this issue to such an extent that we think this is a Mexican border wall issue.

He says it's also about the the chilling effect that it's going to have on people who are here legally, who get caught up in this system because they have the wrong name or they live in the wrong neighborhood.

He asks: Why is that not come up? Because it's not neat and it doesn't fit the narrative. We have a country of amnesia that doesn't even want to acknowledge the fact that all of these places, Texas , Arizona , California , and California , used to belong to.
