Liberty's Promise and America's Gain

Robert Ponichtera President and Executive Director of Liberty's Promise

With over eleven million new immigrants arriving in the 1990's, the phenomenon of immigration took on its greatest expression in the American Experience. That so many new immigrants came from countries previously underrepresented here has made the challenge of their integration into America a very high priority. It has also forced the native born to examine their own faith in an engine of demographic renewal that has powered the country for centuries. Robert Ponichtera, President of Liberty's Promise, explains who is coming, what they need and why immigration continues to be essential.
