This country was built by immigrants, it will continue to attract and need immigrants. Some people think there are enough people here now -- people have been saying this since the 1700s and it still is not true. They are needed to make up for our aging population and low birthrate. Immigrants often are entrepreneurs, creating jobs. We must help them become Americans and not just people who live here and think of themselves as visitors. When immigrants succeed here, the whole country benefits.

Have your own immigration story?
While this website is hosted by the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society and most of the stories there are from Jewish immigrants, you should all sign up. This society is very active in the whole immigration reform movement and they work with all immigrant and refugee issues. They would welcome stories from people from all countries and beliefs.
