The American Immigration Council explains who refugees and asylum seekers are and how they help America. Refugees are people who had to leave their home countries because it wasn't safe. Asylum seekers are people who come to America asking for protection.
Both groups go through hard legal processes to stay safe. The website shows that these people make America stronger by working, paying taxes, and starting businesses. It has recent news about court cases trying to protect immigrant rights.
There are also stories about LGBTQ people from Iran who need help, and reports about how new policies hurt immigrant families. The site includes research showing refugees bring billions of dollars to the economy. It has tools to contact elected officials and learn about immigration laws.
The Council fights in court to protect immigrant rights and publishes reports about policy changes. This information helps people understand immigration issues and take action to help refugees and asylum seekers in their communities.
