THIS WEEKEND Watch: Immigrants at Work

April 7, 2020

Immigrants at work in health care, churches and services

Our weekly online New Immigrant and Refugee Visions (NIRV) themed screenings allow you to watch a selection of the NIRV films with your home-bound and online family and friends.

This week’s theme is Immigrants at Work: How do new immigrants and refugees adjust to work life in America and contribute to the economy and workforce? For many the image of the American dream that they came with is very different than the American economic and social reality they face once they arrive.

Included are discussion questions and additional resources to deepen your understanding of immigration issues.

Tell us about your experience in the comments section.

After Afghanistan fell to the Taliban tens of thousands of Afghans made their way to the United States. They were allowed to stay under a program called “humanitarian parole.” But that status expires in a couple of months, and although they can renew one time, many are calling for Congress to pass the Afghan Adjustment Act, which would allow them to seek more permanent status.
