Immigration has a long history in the United States, with various groups either being welcomed or denied entry into the country. Federal policies and the public’s attitude towards immigrants and refugees change over time, and the subject is back in the spotlight yet again.

There are a lot of misconceptions out there about immigration and the refugee resettlement process. The system is complicated, and policies can change daily. This course will break down the legal definitions of immigrants, refugees, and asylees before looking specifically at the immigrant and refugee population here in the Portland area. We will also delve deeper into community-specific needs and ways in which each course participant can help our immigrant and refugee population in Portland feel at home.
