Program 3

In this program, we hear from national commentators who think “risk-taking” immigrants who come in large numbers are good for the country and its future economic well-being. But, in Holland, Michigan, we are introduced to the problems of immigration at “ground level” including hungry students who do poorly in school as a result – and then drop out at rates approaching 50 percent.
