New Immigration Policy Blog from IPC
ImmigrationImpact.com aims to re-shape the immigration debate
Washington, DC--The current climate of undeterred online, immigrant-bashing is about to be faced with a force to contend with. The Immigration Policy Center (IPC) is pleased to announce the launching of its new blog, Immigration Impact (www.ImmigrationImpact.com). Immigration Impact was developed to help reshape the immigration debate in a way that will bring us closer to comprehensive immigration reform. The blog will provide thoughtful and rapid-response commentaries and insights on the latest news and events so that you can be up-to-date with what's going on with the immigration debate.
"The misleading messages coming from an increasingly large number of anti-immigrant blogs demand an honest and informative response from their counterparts in the blogosphere," says IPC director and Immigration Impact contributor, Angela Kelley. "We're joining the blogosphere to tell the other side of the story and counter these attacks with arguments based in fact, research, and in-depth analysis."
Writers currently include Dr. Michele Waslin and Dr. Walter Ewing-two leading researchers and policy analysts in the immigration field. Notable and longstanding immigration advocates Benjamin Johnson and Angela Kelley will also serve as regular contributors. The Immigration Policy Center welcomes guest-contributions from reputable writers, bloggers, and advocates in the field.

Thank God. Those who disparage immigration in general and immigrants in particular either have not read the inscription on the Statute of Liberty or they disagree with America's intrinsic promise of equal opportunity to all. Lady Liberty is The "Mother of Exiles [who cries] Give me your... wretched refuse... homeless... yearning to breathe free." Being of African American descent, able only to trace my lineage as far as my maternal and paternal great grandparents, because my ancestors who were residing in this great country during slavery were primarily undocumented, as today are some citizens among us. To those who advocate langauge of illegal or legal, I say, we are a nation of immigrants who all come from some undocumented forebear. Therefore, we must make the documenting of all of America's residents, her children, as simple and painless as possible. For this cause I started the Florida Legal Research Group, LLC and continue to hold out the olive branch held in the eagles talons to those within and and outside our borders saying You are Welcome Here.
