 mmunity. As Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel asked\, &ldquo\;How can a human
  being be illegal?&rdquo\;</p>\n<p>America has long been a nation of immig
 rants. Many people who leave their homes to come to this country are simpl
 y seeking a life of freedom and safety.</p>\n<p>This Courageous Conversati
 on aims to explore current immigrant experiences\, discussing barriers\, s
 truggles\, joys\, and successes. We will expand our conversation to discus
 s the urgent situation faced by many immigrants when they arrive here\, th
 e lengthy struggles faced by immigrants after arrival\, and what each of u
 s can do to stand up against hate and support our neighbors.</p>\n<p>Moder
