OPINION: The facts about immigration
The politicization of undocumented workers in our country is a social issue that demands our attention and needs a solution. But it cannot be solved without addressing the xenophobic tendencies that lay below the veneer of even just societies.
My approach will not be religious, although certainly Scripture gives us much to think about when it comes to treating the workers in our midst. I base this defense of immigrant workers on past research and present analysis that comes from understanding the labor shortages which our nation experiences in various sectors; including agriculture, construction and the service industries.
