On the heels of two national tragedies of domestic terrorism in a single weekend that seem to stem from a hatred of immigrants, this week’s issue is an education on immigration. A buzzword that’s been politicized and militarized without too much greater civil understanding of just exactly how it works, who it affects, and the stories of those who have been affected. These five episodes talks about the basic steps and policies of immigration, the moral debate on whether it’s a human right and short touching personal immigration stories. Maybe this issue is preaching to the choir but nonetheless, enjoy.
