A place called home

They worry about the economy, just like everyone else. They miss the places they came from, but most feel quite at home in their new homes. They worry about discrimination against immigrants, but, ironically, most think the discrimination is aimed at others, not them, not these immigrants.

These are the fascinating findings of a newly issued report on how immigrants in the U.S. view their lives  - findings as timely as ever in our ongoing debate about immigration reform. It is a base for so many news stories that can be told and expanded upon in print, on the air, on the Internet. It can also be an example for a local version of the lives of immigrants here in the Chicago area.

Here is the report from Public Agenda:
