As an undocumented immigrant who has been deported 14 times I find it refreshing to see the good people of River Forest protect me so I can mow their lawns for below minimum wage while they sit in their million dollar homes feeling progressive. Thank you!

This is an important statement of who the residents and workers of River Forest are. Let's be the helpers, not the hurters. We need immigrants to make the nation stronger economically and in terms of people capital, equity and inclusion.
