Immigration is often a confusing and scary topic, but it need not be if you know the facts. I’ve created a series of deep dives into several hot button issues: 1️⃣ What about illegal immigrants & the border crisis? 2️⃣ What’s the link between immigration, investment, & jobs? 3️⃣ How do immigrants make us more innovative? 4️⃣ Do immigrants pay their fair share in taxes? 5️⃣ Do immigrants steal or create jobs? 6️⃣ Should we favor skilled immigrants/do we also benefit from unskilled immigrants? 7️⃣ Will immigrants undermine my country’s culture? 8️⃣ Do immigrants threaten my safety? 9️⃣ Why is it so hard for societies to welcome immigrants? 🔟 How do I approach difficult conversations about immigration?
