Immigration Policy Center Releases Updated State-by-State Fact Sheets!

The Immigration Policy Center (IPC) has released the first twenty updated state-by-state fact sheets with accompanying info graphics. These fact sheets highlight the demographic and economic impact of Immigrants, Asians and Latinos in each state. The Immigration Policy Center (IPC) is the research and policy division of the American Immigration Council (AIC).

As Washington D.C. debates Comprehensive Immigration Reform, we thought that it would be an appropriate time to provide some statistics on the Immigrant population in the United States as provided by this IPC research. Once a week we will be posting a blog with information on four states at a time. This week we will highlight; Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Vermont.

USCIS is reopening the FY 2013 Citizenship and Integration Grant Program funding opportunity announcement (DHS-13-CIS-010-002). Applications may be filed through Grants.gov from June 3, 2013 through June 5, 2013 at 11:59:59 PM EDT. USCIS learned after the close of the original application period on May 22, 2013 that Grants.gov rejected a significant percentage of applications to this funding opportunity. Given those rejections, USCIS is reopening this opportunity for a brief period to allow potential applicants to resubmit an application. Organizations that successfully submitted an application through Grants.gov before the May 22, 2013 deadline are not required to resubmit.

For more information, please contact the USCIS Office of Citizenship’s Grants Division at citizenshipgrantprogram@uscis.dhs.gov

Now that the New Immigration Reform Bill, S. 744, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Reform Act, is finally out of the Senate Judiciary Committee and has been sent to the U.S. Senate for a vote, it is time for you to send your opinions on the bill to the Senators that represent your state. The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) has setup a web page for you to easily find and then send a message to your specific members of congress supporting the New Immigration Reform Bill. Using your zip code or home address, they can find the name and email address of your Representatives in Congress. They have created five templates, including four issue-specific letters on business, family, due process and legalization that you can use or you can write your own message. Enter your zip code and select a message to send to your Senator.

MVP Law Group would like you at this critical time to urge your Senators to pass a workable Immigration Reform Bill. If passed by the Senate the new Immigration Reform Bill will be sent to the U.S. House of Representatives.
