Fear mongering about immigrants does humanity a disservice.
Affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person.
There are certain politicians, mostly in the Republican party, who fear monger turning groups of people against each other. These folks have turned politics into a us and them game. This is zero sum economic model of winners and losers. Don’t forget that as human beings we are stronger together than we are divided.
With declining fertility rates in the US America will only stay strong and vibrant if it welcomes immigrants to our country. Politicians who gin up fear of the immigrant do the country and humanity a significant disservice.
Let your elected representatives know that you support a rational immigration policy and to stop with the fear mongering.
David: I am an immigrant at age 12 (now 78). Came here by request and subsequent invitation. Filled out the paperwork, were updated medically and we arrived here receiving nothing. Let me repeat, nothing. What we did get......OPPORTUNITY. We embraced that opportunity. There are now some 12 Batchelor's and masters' degrees, one Phd. an Air Force Academy graduate, a Coast guard Academy graduate and many of us served. That my friend is immigration with the intent to serve, give back, pay it forward and assimilate. Opening the border and saying it's secure is B.S. at the highest level. Semper Fi.
