Maybe they could have chosen maintaining voting rights if that is less trigger-y. The immigration system is clearly broken - not just the border, but the entire asylum and visa system.
"ensuring equitable access to voting for all Americans" would be better.
"clearly broken" is the same thing as "commonsense" gun laws. there are things that need to change, but my exposure to the immigration/visa process for thousands due to my time in HR tells me it currently works for a lot of people. you don't get those soundbites on the news, though.
They're written as if the DNC is the savior of all things decent. The fact you used the word trigger shows, assuming you vote D, that differences of opinions from the same party aren't actually openly welcomed... which is exactly what I was talking about. The whole message from the party seems to be "if you don't think exactly like us, you aren't one of us" and it's alienating.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
