In Lancaster, Minnesota, the music teacher of the Lancaster School may be forced to return to Canada, as her visa runs out on February 15th. Alanna Dawson is the music teacher there at the school in northwestern Minnesota, and because of U.S. Immigration Law may be forced to move back to her home near Winnipeg, Canada. The Superintendent of the district, Steve Swiontek, has reached out to Minnesota Senators Klobuchar and Franken, as well as Representative Peterson in his attempt to keep Dawson from being forced to leave the country.
If Ms. Dawson is forced to leave, the school will be without a music teacher, as there are no others in the area. This is why U.S. Immigration Law is so important. While in some cases it is important to maintain a balance of those immigrating to the United States, it is important for circumstances such as this one to receive individual consideration.
