Send Your Thoughts To Immigration Daily
Vigorous and spirited debate in the press about issues of importance is
part of the American tradition. As the hub for communication of immigration
information, we are proud to offer a forum for discussion of immigration
law related issues. It is our intent to facilitate discourse between
those with differing viewpoints for only when people have access to
information can they make informed decisions. We do not publish letters
seeking solutions to specific cases. We do publish letters which raise
issues of general interest to the community dealing with issues of
immigration law. Immigration Daily encourages the submission of letters to
the editor to editor@ilw.com.
