Welcoming New Iowans - the Need for Immigration Reform

Mark Grey, professor, anthropology, director of Iowa Center of Immigrant Leadership and Integration

 

The Iowa Center for Immigrant Leadership and Integration (ICILI) guides and prepares Iowa communities and businesses as they accommodate immigrant and refugee newcomers living and working in Iowa. Training services are available to immigrants and refugees, businesses and organizations. All ICILI programming incorporates a strong appreciation for the critical role newcomers play in ensuring the long-term social and economic vitality of Iowa's businesses and communities. Mark Grey, director of ICILI, takes a critical look at comprehensive immigration reform that focuses on the new global economic order: the workers, the companies and the consumers.
