An important thing going into ethics week is the knowledge that refugees are legally allowed to be in this country. There is the stigma that immigrants come here illegally, when in fact immigration is granted by the government.
It is important to learn that immigrants really are paying taxes like most Americans. Even with the fact that they pay almost 8% of their income to taxes, which is even more than the wealthier people do in the country.
After reading the facts and interview people’s knowledge on the subjec, I believe this topic should be spread more and more to educate people.
From reading this article I learned that there exist many myths about immigrants, and I also saw the connection between these myths and common stereotypes. The most interesting fact I learned is that native-born citizens are more likely to get incarcerated.
