Koch-backed groups take on immigration starting in Miami
Read Original Source
MIAMI (AP) — A new effort funded by the powerful Koch network wants to reframe discussions about immigration by calling for bipartisan consensus on the issue amid Trump-era divisions. The initiative “Common Ground” launched an outdoor installation Thursday in a Miami parking lot to share positive personal stories of immigrants who are young entrepreneurs, war heroes and farmers. Visitors are encouraged to open several doors to watch short clips on large vertical screens that hang by the doorway.
