The Issue of immigration as it is portrayed in the media

In order to understand many of our attitudes and conceptions of immigration and immigrants, we must dissect what the media and the government tell us about it.

We must engage in interpreting social messages and to inform our research for solutions related to the subject of immigration (and the other areas we study).

We do not necessarily agree with everything the different media voices or pundits say, but they each have a voice, and from a historical perspective, all voices must be heard and documented - especially with regards to important issues that affect many people.
