Horrifying to think what this could mean to so many of our neighbors. But your walk is an inspiration!
I also did a podcast about this issue and how it can impact immigrants in Iowa--https://attheiowafarmtable.substack.com/p/immigrants-and-the-food-chain
One interesting fact: HALF of all meat processing jobs in the state of Iowa are held by immigrants, many of whom had TPS. So this issue will impact all of us (and your grocery bills).
You say Biden allowed over 500,000 immigrants into the US with “extensive vetting process”. Thats false - my mother would have called it a lie. They were not individually vetted in full.

And yes, I think many would like to believe that “this doesn’t affect me” but it does and it will.
Thanks so much for sharing, Beth! Adding your podcast to my queue.
I've never heard of this organization. Thank you for sharing this, Nicole!
I really like the work they do!
Thank you, Nicole. I'm glad to know about these organizations.

You can learn more about the process of becoming a refugee through USCIS. I’d consider it very extensive.
