BUSINESSES
If you work at a local business, you are part of building the Ohio community. This is our home. Every person in Ohio has rights, including immigrants with various citizenship statuses and you, in your place of business. It's impossible to determine someone's immigration status by looking at them or hearing them talk. Making an assumption is racial profiling.
