As we help our homeless people to get into housing, Josh pointed out that we have empty housing all over the USA, then we can train our new immigrants on how to help our homeless people, and they can work with us to help our homeless. My dearly departed friend Lisa from the Philippines spent her whole life helping the homeless here in California.
We can also train our new immigrants to be teachers, and nurses, etc.
We can revitalize declining areas as we repopulate the empty housing with the homeless people and with the refugees, etc, and they can create new businesses, and they can clean things up and they can put a new coat of paint on the old buildings, etc, and they can have fountains and public landscaping, etc. We can beautify the USA with the help of our immigrants.
Lots of good things can happen, and diversity is our strength, and the immigrants can help us to make the world a better place.
And remember that Kiwanis International can help, and the Catholic Church, and Youth For Christ, and Samaritan's Purse, and other groups can help as we work to make our world a better place. Pepperdine University can also help, and Stanford, and our other great schools can help us to make our world a better place.
Salute,
Tony V.
