PRESS RELEASE
MIAMI, Sep 30, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center (FIAC), an organization dedicated to helping immigrants obtain legal status, successfully litigating their unjust treatment and pressing for constructive immigration laws and policy for more than 15 years, is redoubling efforts to improve immigration policy at the national level and today unveiled a new name: Americans for Immigrant Justice -- or AI Justice for short and Americanos Pro Justicia Inmigrante in Spanish.
The new name better reflects the focus and depth of AI Justice's national work. A non-profit immigration law firm, the organization also plans to open an office in Washington, DC. Immigrant advocates nationwide, national media, key funders and federal and state policy makers already consider AI Justice as one among a handful of the most effective national groups fighting for immigrant justice.

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.
