RAISE Act

     As of April 10th, the RAISE Act has been reintroduced by its authors, Tom Cotton, David Perdue, and Josh Hawley. The RAISE Act aims to flaw the immigration system even more by reducing legal immigration to the United States permanently. To achieve this they want to instill a merit-based system into the immigrant selection processes to better benefit the U.S. and its economy. Our team from Creighton University believes merit-based immigration supporters are failing to see this issue in the most simple humanistic way possible. In order to promote equality and refrain from a greedy mentality we must stop asking these immigrants what can they do for us, but what can we do for them?
