About This Lesson
Immigration policy is not just a hot-button issue, it is a life-threatening sea change for millions of people with whom we work. Families are being torn apart, legal residents— our neighbors—are being sent to prisons in foreign countries, and students are being
arrested and deported for exercising their right to speak out. No one is safe, because if immigrants are treated without concern for the law, any resident is at risk.
There are so many changes in the way this country is treating immigrants—and the rest of us—it’s hard to keep up. To help us all navigate this new territory, we have created three documents: a glossary of common immigration terms, a guide to the threats we are facing and a list of the actions we have already taken to make this right.
