The Great American Think-Off

Sponsored by the New York Mills Regional Culture Center and held in Minneapolis, The Great American Think-Off gives regular Americans the chance to weigh-in on tough, philosophical questions of the day. This year's topic was "Does immigration strengthen or threaten America?"

Of the runners-up, one agreed with the winner's position while the others argued the fallacious old saw that illegal immigrants bring cultural diversity, which strengthens our country. Ironically, one of the latter was from Nashville, TN.
