Please join Southern California Grantmakers for a special screening of At Issue: Immigration, a documentary film that presents a factual and comprehensive snapshot of immigration in the United States, including the history of immigration, current demographic trends, the affects of immigration on our communities and how immigrants fit into the United States economy. The film will be shown in short segments. Discussion with experts will follow each segment.
The United States benefits greatly from immigration. It helps shape our culture and spur economic growth. Today, immigrants are a significant, increasing part of the U.S. labor force at both the high and low ends of the labor market. As the Baby-Boom generation ages, and the demand for younger workers grows, immigrants will become increasingly important to the U.S. economy as workers, taxpayers and homebuyers. Still, immigrants face major challenges and uncertainty in their daily lives-inadequate access to healthcare and education, lack of employment opportunities and poverty. This session will explore the most reliable facts concerning immigration, the demands of an aging population, current immigration law and why immigration is an important issue for foundations.
