Immigrants In USA Blog

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.

Volunteers Scramble to Save a School for Immigrants

As a result of the economic downturn and a dwindling endowment, the International Center, which has taught English and helped immigrants assimilate for decades, faces dissolution and eviction from its Manhattan home.

The center, which has more than 300 active volunteers and currently teaches about 1,500 students, shocked its volunteers last month with the news that it was behind on its rent and would have to close its doors on West 23rd Street, where it has been for about 20 years.
