Meeting Monday May 6th from Jared SibbittI would like to make public comment for this City Council meeting: I have had nothing but positive experiences with immigrants new to our country in the Flathead. This is more than I
can say for the immigrants from places like Washington and Texas. I support the work of Valley Neighbors assisting those who have arrived here legally after escaping untenable situations
elsewhere, and I appreciate the hard work and contributions these new arrivals make to our valley. I ask the City Council to not conflate issues surrounding homelessness, housing shortages,
and crime with that of immigration, as these are separate issues that might occasionally share common elements, but are all too easily mixed together in the emotions and minds of residents.
Respectfully,
Jared Sibbitt
