Watch This: Immigration, The American Fabric

Nov 21, 2024 | Easy A, Immigration

The incoming Trump administration is doubling down on their campaign promises to curb immigration and conduct mass deportations, possibly even targeting naturalized citizens.

Amidst the hateful rhetoric, it’s important to remember that, while Americans disagree on how to improve our increasingly stressed immigration system, the majority of us support humane immigration policies and legal pathways to citizenship.

Watch this quick video as a reminder of how extremists are using immigration as a topic to scare and divide us, and how we can — and must — rise to this challenge and reject their hate and division.

We’ll be taking a break from our >Easy A next week to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, but we’ll be back the following week to talk about what we can do to support immigrants and immigration in the face of oncoming threats.
