DODGE CITY — Last November, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Concordia stood with the Federation of Sisters of St. Joseph at the congregational Senate to talk about a national issue, immigration. An enactment on immigration was decided upon unanimously and thoroughly supported by the entire congregation. "Immigration Conversations" was born.
An immigration committee made up of five members came together to organize the project.
The intent of the Immigration Conversation is to open dialogue for the community to gather and discuss one of the most controversial topics today.

This country was built by immigrants, it will continue to attract and need immigrants. Some people think there are enough people here now -- people have been saying this since the 1700s and it still is not true. They are needed to make up for our aging population and low birthrate. Immigrants often are entrepreneurs, creating jobs. We must help them become Americans and not just people who live here and think of themselves as visitors. When immigrants succeed here, the whole country benefits.
