Immigrants come to Oregon for a variety of reasons. They reunite with family members, work in seasonal jobs and study in our colleges and universities. While many come through legal means, others do not and take the chance of being caught and sent home. Immigration policy affects business, education, labor, law enforcement, families and other aspects of our communities. It has become a divisive political issue. While America is a country of immigrants, who are the most recent ones among us? How do they contribute to and what do they need from our communities? What is the path to citizenship for those who want to stay? How does immigration policy affect families?
