“We need comprehensive immigration reform so that we're not creating this cycle of poverty and depression and everything that comes with separating a family.”

Meaning

This points to immigration policy as a human issue, not just a legal one. It reads as an argument that separating families can produce long aftereffects, including poverty and emotional harm, so reform is framed as prevention as much as justice. It lands in debates about public policy, where the cost of rules shows up in homes, schools, and mental health.
