Citizenship Publication by CLINIC

I am pleased to announce the publication of CLINIC’s new report, A More Perfect Union: A National Citizenship Plan.  This plan is the fruition of over two years of research and interviews with more than 100 experts in immigration law, policy, and services.

A More Perfect Union sets forth the resources, activities, and partnerships that would be required to naturalize as many eligible immigrants as possible.  It calls for national mobilization in support of citizenship.  By identifying the roles of government, immigrant service agencies, and other sectors of society, including foundations, the plan proposes a nationally coordinated program to promote immigrant integration.   

CLINIC disseminated the report widely to government leaders, policy experts, service providers, and others identified as having a role to play in the plan.  It can be viewed and printed in its entirety on the CLINIC website at: http://www.cliniclegal.org/DNP/citzplan.html.
 
We hope the report will spur a national discussion and new interest in naturalization as the linchpin of an emerging U.S. immigrant integration strategy.

CLINIC greatly appreciates the Carnegie Corporation of New York’s generous support for this report.

Sincerely,

Donald M. Kerwin
