The Golden State – Immigrants, Latinos, and Asians Indispensable to California Economy

As the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) National Day of Action is swiftly approaching on March 25, 2010, we thought that it would be an appropriate time to provide some statistics on the Immigrant population in the United States as provided by research conducted through the Immigration Policy Center (IPC) of the American Immigration Counsel (AIC). The AILA National Day of Action is an opportunity to educate Members of Congress and their staff about the problems plaguing our immigration system so that they can be more effective in crafting, promoting and supporting legislative solutions.

The IPC has complied research on the Immigrant, Latino and Asian community for most of the states within our Nation. Every Wednesday, we will provide in our blog post, the highlights from the research conducted by the IPC.

The Department of State (DOS) has designated Saturday, March 27th as “Passport Day in the USA.” The DOS knows that Americans lead very busy lives and as such wanted to make the process of obtaining or renewing a U.S. passport as convenient as possible. On March 27th, all of the regional passport agencies will open to the public for extended Saturday hours. Passport seekers around the country will be able to walk into any of the passport agencies without appointments and without needing to show proof of imminent travel. Additionally, thousands of passport acceptance facilities, including those operated by the U.S Postal Service, will be open for extended hours to assist travel-hungry customers.

The first Passport Day in the USA was held last year and on that day, more than 57,000 passport applications were received nationwide. Due to the addition of new passport agencies in Detroit, MI; Dallas, TX; Minneapolis, MN; and Tucson, AZ, the DOS expects even more Americans to join in celebrating Passport Day in the USA.

Each passport facility is publishing details of their events in their local communities. Customers can find addresses of the nearest passport agency or participating passport acceptance facility on the DOS website.

The Director of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), Alejandro Mayorkas and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa have entered into an agreement to strengthen and enhance local immigrant integration efforts. Launched as a pilot, this agreement will remain in effect for two (2) years with evaluations conducted by the USCIS to analyze the program’s effectiveness and to determine whether this partnership may be replicated in other locations.

The purpose of the partnership initiative is to strengthen immigrant integration efforts in Los Angeles through proactive citizenship awareness, education and outreach activities. The partnership has planned a series of informational sessions as well as other activities for Los Angeles residents where USCIS educational materials highlighting the benefits and process of U.S. Citizenship will be available at city facilities.

Mayor Villaraigosa provided that “this outreach campaign is a model of cooperation and civic empowerment that will help enrich America’s continued success as a nation of immigrants.”

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) completed a multi-year redesign of the naturalization test which has been in effect since October 1, 2008. From October 1, 2008 until September 30, 2009, applicants were able to choose whether to take the old test or the new test.

The major goal of the redesign process was to ensure that naturalization applicants have uniform, consistent testing experiences nationwide, and to provide a fair and meaningful naturalization process. The USCIS believes that the newly designed test will help encourage citizenship applicants to learn and identify with the basic values we all share as Americans. Currently the passage rate for those taking the NEW test is 91%.

Effective October 1, 2009, all Citizenship applicants must take the NEW redesigned test.
