Avodah

For more than 20 years, we’ve been inspiring Jewish leaders to commit to a life of social change, promoting a vision of Jewish life rooted in justice, and engaging the broader Jewish community in some of the most pressing issues facing our country at a local and national level. Avodah Corps Members serve at nonprofits across the country (in NYC, DC, Chicago, and New Orleans) for a full year, directly impacting their communities for the better, while learning how to create systemic change.
America is a country of immigrants. So why has immigration become one of the most divisive issues in our politics?
Chicago immigration attorney and Avodah alum Aaron Lawee has spent years working inside the U.S. immigration system, and he has a clear take on how we got here. His observation is simple: “It’s especially easy to blame immigrants when they can’t vote.”
In this clip, Aaron breaks down how immigration has shifted from a shared American value to a partisan wedge issue, arguing that targeting a group of people with no political recourse is entirely intentional.
