All Our Children? The Health and Education of Children of Immigrants
http://www.fcd-us.org/usr_doc/2007_Annual_Report_-_All_Our_Children.pdf
The centerpiece of the Foundation for Child Development's 2007 Annual Report, All Our Children? The Health and Education of Children of Immigrants is an essay by Alexandra Fuenmayor Starr. Ms. Starr writes about U.S. immigration policy for Slate, The New Republic, and The American Scholar. Her essay, "The Dividends of Investing Early: Why We Need to Help the Youngest Children of Immigrants," argues that young children of immigrants, over 90 percent of whom are citizens, will have a large impact on America's cultural and economic vitality. Investing in the healthy development of these children is critical to our nation's future.
