September 11 is a day when Americans remember not only the tremendous loss our country experienced, but also the extraordinary sense of unity and service that followed.

In Connecticut, we respect the dignity and humanity of every person who calls our state home, and we value the contributions of our immigrant communities to our state.
Rounding up people at random to fill a quota does not lower crime. It traumatizes families and communities.
