IMMIGRATION RESEARCH CENTER

This is not your usual research center.

Rather, it’s an immigrant sharing center.

A place where you can find important reports, brochures, articles, primers, essays, news stories, and studies on immigration issues.

Our goal is to help you and your family better understand different aspects of immigration law in the United States.

These resources should likewise be handy to immigration advocates, students, researchers, and community leaders.

It’s also a work in progress.  When new and important materials are published, we will add them to this list.

If you know of important documents not included here, send us an email about the missing items at info@bataraimmigrationlaw.com.

The more information we share with each other, the stronger our fight for immigrant justice will become.
