Invite friends and colleagues to share their experiences with this nonprofit
September 7, 2012
As a former trustee of the Council from 2000-2006, I've seen it grow over the years to become one of the most respected policy think tanks on immigration, as well as a valuable resource for educators and litigators. The Council continues to contribute to the public debate on immigration through its research and policy advocacy.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
being able to talk knowledgeably about federal immigration policy in graduate school urban policy classes and wider audiences.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
focus more on a communications strategy, which the Council has begun to do.

The American Immigration Council is a favorite of mine. I came to the USA on a scholarship as a foreign student. On graduation, I was not able to return to Hong Kong. Horrendous riots raged there, and a Swiss consul was killed sadly. So, when the immigration laws changed, I was able to immigrate. I was a social worker and a college teacher. Now I have been a lawyer specialising in immigration law for the last 38 years. I cannot imagine practising law without the AIC. I get the latest practice advisory from its Legal Action Center. Clients use the J visa program it runs. Its Immigration Policy Center has the latest positions supported by the American Immigration Lawyers Association. Its educational efforts reach deep into our schools, starting in 5th grade, with essays and poems that amaze me. I am so grateful the AIC is teaching our youngsters to repel bigotry. No more Chinese Exclusion Acts for our country!
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
My practice benefits from all four parts of the AIC.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Make it more relevant to us West Coasters.
