Changing the Narrative on Immigration
There is so much fear mongering and scapegoating during this election year. Recently Quixote Center had to remove a social media post on migration because there was too much hate and anger toward migrants expressed in the comments. It is worthwhile to take a step back and reflect on where each of us stand on immigration. No matter what our background or personal connection to this sensitive issue is, we all have an opinion. But where does our knowledge come from? That is, how do you know what you know?
