Mark your calendars for this timely and informative Know Your Rights presentation!

Really looking forward to this session! Can’t wait to see how the discussion develops on this panel. Such an important topic!

Due to the abundance of propaganda and misinterpretations, I find it necessary to address the topic of illegal immigration versus legal immigration. I think people are getting things contorted and myths are beginning to spread. Especially about Black Americans and illegal migrants. The conversation should have always been about illegal immigration and how illegal immigration takes resources from black communities and Americans in general because it does. Mass illegal immigration serves wealthy and middle-class whites the most, Not Black Americans. Black Americans descendants of Freedmen have lived in our country amongst immigrants peacefully for over 200 years. We have already proven that we are not Anti- Immigration. We are the first to advocate for immigrants, especially Black and Brown immigrants. Nonetheless, the Biden administration's authorizing 11 million Illegals into the country hurt our Country economically and Most importantly it hurt Black Americans. I believe the language surrounding the conversation of Black Americans and immigration needs to be put in proper context. Too much of anything can be harmful to anyone and that includes illegal immigration.

The Irony of History: How the Legacy of Immigration Shapes Today's Debate In the vibrant yet tumultuous decades of the 60s and 70s, I witnessed first-hand the waves of immigration from Asia and Africa to England. Schools were a battleground of cultures, where African students often dominated in numbers, yet all of us grappled with the harsh realities of racism—from skinheads to Hell's Angels, and even from within the local communities. It's a bitter pill to swallow when observing the present discourse around immigration in the UK, particularly when figures like Suella Braverman, whose own parents sought refuge from Uganda's turmoil, spearhead campaigns to tighten the very immigration laws that once offered her family shelter. This perceived betrayal resonates deeply, as it feels that those who should understand the immigrant struggle the most are now its greatest adversaries. What strikes me most is the shift in narrative—from a once multicultural embrace to a chilling endeavor to erase this richness from the fabric of British society. It’s a classic case of forgetting one's roots, an act that not only undermines the contributions of past immigrants but also dims the prospects for future ones. As we reflect on this, we must ask ourselves and our communities, especially those of us with ties to African heritage: Is the struggle worth enduring in a land where we are often seen as third-class citizens? With Africa's sun still shining brightly over its vast resources, perhaps it is time to consider harnessing our potential at home, rather than fighting for acceptance in foreign lands where our worth is perpetually in question. #ImmigrationDebate #UKPolitics #CulturalIrony #DiasporaDilemmas #ReturnAndRebuild

Immigration Stories : USA The US has for many years been host to the largest number of immigrants. There nearly 48 million immigrants currently living in the USA. About a quarter (11 million) of the immigrants in the USA are undocumented (otherwise known as illegal (im)migrants). It has more immigrants than any other country in the world. Currently, the US is home to a quarter (25%) of all international students globally. And these immigrants come from all nearly every country across the world. What does that tell us? Tolerance? Is that what makes America great or? Should that justify the Americans and Mr Trump's plan for stronger American border controls?
