What comes to mind when you hear the word
“immigration”? Images of Ellis Island? Gangs of intruders at the border? Foreign born individuals taking their oath to become citizens of the United States? Whatever image comes to mind probably helps shape your feelings and thoughts about the issue of immigration. How do you respond to the calls to “build a wall” at the U.S. border? How should our government handle the crisis at the border? Should there be mass deportations or should amnesty be granted to those who live here without documentation? Does immigration strengthen or weaken our country? There are few issues that are as contentious as the matter of immigration in the United States.
