Navigating Government Immigration Issues is an authoritative, insider's perspective on the strategic thinking necessary to create and enforce fair immigration practices through out the United States. Featuring state and federal immigration and refugee resettlement experts, as well as immigration attorneys from across the country, this book provides a broad yet comprehensive overview of the challenges unique to assisting immigrants and refugees with their adjustment to life in a new country. Highlighting the need for immigrants and refugees to receive access to health care, education, and employment, these leaders offer advice on educating law enforcement officials, related government agencies, and local communities on immigration laws and practices, overcoming misconceptions about the immigration process, and advocating for reforming the integration process.
