2. “What factors do you think most influence your perspective? Your personal experience with immigrants whom you know? The media? The Bible?”For me, I think it is the media mostly.
3. “How do you think you might respond if you faced the circumstances that many immigrants were in prior to their decision to come to the U.S.?”
4. “Can you tell me about an immigrant you know in our community that you’ve worked with, served or learned from?”I have never worked with or served an immigrant in my community.
