Topic:
IMMIGRATION’S IMPACT -
THE COSTS OF CROSSING BORDERS

Is the USA doing better controlling our borders?
Who is being victimized by immigration?
What's our experience with walls as a solution?
What would you write in an immigration policy?
Is it possible to control our borders?
Are there positive ways immigration can be better managed?

On July 16 The Conflict Center and Zinn Mediation Associates collaborated on Circles of Conversation; a café styled evening of conversation on immigration. The following is the record of the Power Point we used. It includes the pairs of questions for each round of conversation along with the recorded responses for each of the questions. We hope you find this interesting.

The following is the record of the notes that participants made at their tables while they talked. The tables have been randomly assigned a numeral and all the notes have been listed and recorded. They become a memory of the discussions that took place at that table. There were three rounds of paired questions. Click Here.
