Immigrants and the American Dream: Who Should Get in and Why?
March 31 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm CDT
Immigrants and the American Dream: Who Should Get in and Why?
Join us for a thoughtful conversation on one of the most debated issues of our time: who should have the opportunity to immigrate to the United States. Should the system prioritize family ties, humanitarian needs, economic growth, or workforce demands? We’ll start with a brief, fact-based overview of today’s legal immigration pathways—including asylum—and then open the floor for a wide range of perspectives. A fact sheet and resources will be shared in advance, but no preparation is required. Just bring your curiosity and your views to the table.
Why attend?
1. Leave Better Informed — Not Just Better Opinionated
2. Clarify Your Own Principles
3. Understand the Tradeoffs — There is no immigration system without limits.
4. Hear Thoughtful Perspectives You Don’t Normally Encounter
5. Practice Civil Courage
6. Walk Away with Language That Elevates the Conversation
7. Contribute to a Stronger Civic Culture
Whether you lean left, right, or somewhere in between, this session offers a rare opportunity to model what serious, respectful civic engagement looks like — the kind our country needs more of.
