Immigration Reform 101, key terminology
  A few weeks ago, Tennessee Justice for Our Neighbors (TnJFON) began posting short “one-pagers” on immigration reform from the United Methodist perspective.
TnJFON continues Immigration Reform 101 by addressing key terminology; some of these terms will likely surface when faith leaders engage in reform dialogue.
Another great resources is the “Drop the I-word” campaign promoted through The General Commission on Religion and Race of The United Methodist Church (GCORR - CLICK HERE).
Tennessee Justice for Our Neighbors (TnJFON), a ministry of the Tennessee Annual Conference, urges leaders in the faith community to familiarize themselves with the impact of state and local immigration policies as our state legislature gears up to introduce laws that could impact hospitality to our immigrant brothers and sisters.

Immigration Reform 101 is authored by United Methodist Missionary Jim Perdue Burke. For those who want to digest the entire resource, it is available in English and Spanish on the website: http://www.desertsouthwestconference.org
