How To Debunk Anti-Immigrant Myths At Work
Anti-immigrant myths flood our airwaves. They dominate news cycles and our online feeds. And now they’re amplified from the highest halls of power.
President Donald Trump has asserted, for example, that millions of immigrants came to the U.S. “from jails, from prisons, from insane asylums,” a claim one expert found “too ridiculous to dignify.”
