In the coming months, the Crusader will be conducting a forum for discussion regarding immigration issues. An increase of diversity is evident not only amongs our campus but in the community as well. With such a diverse public, it’s only fitting to talk about an important but shadowed topic that we, as a whole, can contribute to. Immigration has been among one the most disputed topics that is not spoken of so openly, even on Seward County Community College’s campus. As a staff, we will surface different perspectives, myths, stereotypes and general slangs of immigration throughout the series, in discussion through the fall semester of 2014. Although, if need be, the editorial theme can continue into the spring semester, all depending on the constructive feedback that is given to the staff. A great contribution will be essential for this section to reach its highest potential. Our intentions are not to cause any quarrels between any particular groups, but to clear the waters. In order to be understood we must first understand and put ourselves in each other’s shoes, and be willing to listen, or in this case, read each other’s personal experiences and know each other’s stories. To know that in some cases its not all its cracked up to be. To learn not be so black and white but rather all shades of gray. Our goal is for our readers to obtain new information, and profitable insight on immigration, in the hopes that a new mindset will start setting in, if need be. Help us help you by coming together to bring awareness into our student body. We understand that this topic is not to be taken lightly and with all precaution we submit to different opinions and will be welcome to your voice. Help us be a voice to the voiceless.
