Immigration Reimagined, with Dan Kowalski, Esq., Because Reform is No Longer an Option

Thank you, Judith McQuistion, Lisa Seifert, and many others, for tuning into my live conversation with Dan Kowalski! We discussed, among other things, that:* Immigration is always a net positive for the host nation.* The current statute is something we built, so we can unbuild it in keeping with popular values and current historical context. We are not stuck with it, nor should we be, since it dates to an openly white supremacist past.* Our economy requires people to contribute to it to survive.* Authoritarians are masters at manipulating the limbic brain. But we can overcome fear through raising awareness and creating encounters with our immigration neighbors as well as our immigrant past.* We should be reimagining the system in every corner of the nation now, so that when these dark days are behind us, we’ll be ready to build something more realistic and humane from the ashes.* The focus on law enforcement, expanding the Gestapo, and its for-profit gulag will be our own undoing, bankrupting the nation as more people fall into vulnerability.Join me for my next live video in the app.Tales of Humanity is a reader-supported publication.
