IMMIGRATION

IMMIGRATION STUDIES I & II

According to all indicators,immigration is an issue of great interest to Leaguers. Efforts to address immigration at the national or state level have not, as yet, been successful, so this is a local study. As the committee started gathering information, it soon became evident that there was enough material to provide unit programs for a year! Since the subject is so broad and complex, the study will be presented in two parts.

Part I: Facts and Issues	Part II: Challenges Posed by Immigration to the Fairfax Area
Part I is a brief overview of immigration from a national perspective. It does not cover every aspect of immigration but serves as back ground for Part II, which will address the impact of immigration on the local area.	Part II is an overview of the challenges posed by immigration to local education, human services, and the justice system. Overall, Northern Virginia has responded to these challenges with energy and creativity.
