Missouri Won't Build The Wall After Progressive Latino Outreach Outcry?!?

Everything about this story was mostly mischaracterized . . .

We wanted to share this quote that at least offers some perspective from both sides of this politically charged Missouri slap fight . . .

Arrey Obenson, president and CEO of the International Institute of St. Louis, said the resolution distorts the work his organization does. The institute, located in Tower Grove East, offers economic and cultural integration services, English classes, employment, orientation and citizenship preparation to migrants.

“Having a resolution that talks about illegal migrants mischaracterizes the work we do, and this doesn’t speak well of our region,” Obenson said Monday. “Our Latino outreach program seeks to bring people here, not turn them away.”

Council member Joe Brazil introduced the resolution after the International Institute announced an effort to build the area’s workforce with immigrants through its Latino Outreach Program. Brazil criticized the Biden administration’s program as having illegally brought the immigrants to the U.S. Missouri is one of 20 states fighting the program in court.

“This is about the federal government not following the constitution and the law,” Brazil said Monday of President Biden’s immigration program. “It is not on a case-by-case basis, and it has no public benefit.”

Brazil said the resolution was misinterpreted as being anti-immigration, when it’s really against the administration's program.
