Abraham Lincoln once said that this country will never fall to external forces. If the United States or America collapses it will be because of internal conflict. Our current way of life is proving this to be true. We make an enemy of immigrants when we were once called the mixing pot. Our country was built by immigrants and at the end of the day, only Native Americans can claim they are the original residents of this land. To terminate someone’s housing due to immigration will set us up for a world of hate, a housing crisis never seen before (on top of the one we currently have) and the collapse of civil society as we know it. New Hampshire has a strong history of standing against oppression and corruption. We live free or we die. With the bills you are trying to pass, you are bringing that motto to life. If we do not hold onto our values as humans and remember that we are all the same blood and bones, no one will be free. Freedom for all or freedom for none.
