Our Immigrant City: A Panel Conversation on Immigration in New York City

They say New York is always a good idea, but have you ever wondered what makes New York City so attractive? What makes it one of the most popular destinations for immigrants chasing their dreams or looking for a better life?
The Migration Working Group invites you to discuss one of the most vibrant populations of New York: its immigrants. Joined by three panelists with extensive knowledge in migration and the City, we will explore the following questions: Who are the people migrating to NYC? Where are they from? Why are they leaving their countries of origin? How does NYC support its different ethnic groups? And how can we make NYC more inclusive for recent arrivals?

The panelists we are having today are:
Sandra Cordoba - Immigration attorney at Catholic Migration Services;
Alyshia Gálvez, Ph.D. - Professor, Graduate Center of the CUNY, Department of Latin American and Latino Studies, Lehman College;
AND
A representative from the NYC Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs
