Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees - GCIR

Following Public Agenda's pioneering 2002 survey of immigrants in "Now That I'm Here," this new study, "A Place to Call Home: What Immigrants Say Now About Life in America," provides a thoughtful and probing analysis of current views immigrants hold towards the United States, as well as offers trend data to support themes from our earlier study. As the nation begins yet another effort to reform immigration policy, it will be important to understand the attitudes of those most affected by new policy: immigrants themselves. With that in mind, "A Place to Call Home" examines what brings people here and what they think once they arrive. The study was conducted with support from the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
