This guide needs updating to reflect the polarized stances and lack of action on the part of government to address immigration policy. That being said, I worked with a community that used this guide as a model, tailoring the views to reflect the circumstances and issues of concern to their area of the country. It provides a solid start point for a community willing to invest some time in updating sections to reflect today's situation and their area's particular issues.
