Leading Edge | Immigration, repairing the political divide, Lucas Co. Children Services – October 6,

Описание: Immigration

Baldemar Velasquez | F.L.O.C. - President & Founder

According to a new Scripps News/Ipsos survey, more than half of all Americans, including a quarter of Democrats, support the mass deportation of immigrants who are living in the country illegally.

Immigration continues to be in the top 5 issues driving people to the polls in November. But, as we see with each report, there needs to be some perspective, and it may come from the American Immigration Council and a history lesson on the foundation of our ancestors.

Neighbor 2 Neighbor

I’m sure you’ve seen the signs - HEART your neighbor. They’ve popped up all over NW Ohio in the past several months. It’s all part of the local neighbor2neighbor effort.

On their website they say:
The fracturing of our society into good and bad, people I agree with and people I don’t agree with, people like me and people not like me, is moving us so far away from each other that it’s hard to imagine coming together again. If we look for differences, we will find them. But if we look for similarities, we will find that as well.

The time has come to repair the breach. The time has come to soften our hard hearts. It won’t be perfect. But if we can commit to treating our neighbors, all our neighbors, all people, with civility and respect, with basic decency, we will get back the society we all long for-peaceful, kind and productive. It takes everyone to declare that we value our neighbors for real change to occur.

So, during this time of political back-and-forth, during a contentious election season, conversation is happening.
