Immigration Research and Information
Immigration Research and Information is a vital source for research and statistics on immigrants and immigration in the United States. This unique database pools together in one place the spectrum of contemporary information on U.S. immigration. It is drawn from respected universities and research institutions from across the country.
Immigration Research and Information was developed for use by the media, policy developers, researchers and students, legislators, developers of state immigrant integration initiatives, immigrant advocates and educators.
How it came about
This database was developed from a vision of a National Steering Group on U.S. immigration convened in 2008 by The Immigrant Learning Center, Inc. (ILC) of Malden, Massachusetts, under its Public Education Institute. The ILC carried the vision forward by collaborating with the University of Massachusetts Boston to develop the site and by financing its development.
What you will find
- Basic information: U.S. immigration facts and stats taken from recent U.S. Census data.
- Research: studies and reports searchable by topic (economics, labor, education, etc.), U.S. states and immigrant groups.
- Resources: the most convenient online tools for easy sourcing of more U.S. immigration and immigrant information.
- News and Events: a live RSS feed from premier organizations as well as current events on U.S. immigration.
- Discussion: collaborative forums for policy-makers, researchers, educators and integration planners (to be launched in 2012).
