Immigration and America's Cities - A Handbook on Evolving Services (Paperback)

Generations ago, droves of immigrant populations came to the U.S. from Europe and Africa. Now they are arriving mainly from Latin America and Asia. Most are authorized, but there is a large number who are not. While the U.S. Congress, federal, and most state governments, have done little to directly confront pressing immigration and immigrant issues, except for U.S. border areas and ports of entry, public officials and community-based organizations in cities, towns, counties, and other local jurisdictions, have been busily delivering commonsense and pragmatic services to accommodate and incorporate these new members of our American society. This edited volume is a compilation of these municipal level trends, practices, and experiences. It is an easy to read handbook for public officials and citizens on developing good immigrant services.
