Learning
by Doing: Experiences of Circular Migration
By
Kathleen Newland, Dovelyn Rannveig Agunias, and Aaron Terrazas
Increasingly, policymakers are considering whether circular migration could improve
the likelihood that global mobility gains will be shared by migrant-origin and
destination countries alike — as well as by migrants themselves. This MPI
Insight examines the record of circular migration, both where it has arisen naturally
and where governments have taken action to encourage it.

Hometown
Associations: An Untapped Resource for Immigrant Integration?
By Will Somerville, Jamie Durana, and Aaron Matteo Terrazas
Hometown associations, the organizations that immigrants create for social, economic
development, and political empowerment purposes, play an important – and
underexamined – role in immigrant integration. Though policymakers focus
chiefly on the associations’ development potential, this MPI Insight recommends
cooperative interventions to strengthen their immigrant integration capacity.

Behind
the Naturalization Backlog
By Claire Bergeron and Jeremy Banks
Fact Sheet No. 21, February 2008
The processing time for naturalization applications has risen dramatically
since mid-2007, to an 18-month average, as the federal government has struggled
to cope with a surge in applications driven in part by a substantial fee
increase. More than 460,000 people filed naturalization applications in July
2007 right before the fee hike took effect — fully one-third of the
nearly 1.4 million applications that were filed during the entire fiscal
year. This MPI fact sheet examines the causes, context, and concerns surrounding
the backlog.

Los
Angeles on the Leading Edge: Immigrant Integration Indicators and Their
Policy Implications
By Michael Fix, Margie McHugh, Aaron Matteo Terrazas, and Laureen Laglagaron
April 2008
As Los Angeles makes the transition from being a city of immigrants to one dominated
by their US-born children, it can serve as a policy laboratory for other cities
facing the need to better integrate immigrants into US classrooms, workplaces,
and civic life. MPI’s report details the imperative for integration policies
that will benefit immigrants and the broader US society alike.

The
Iraqi Refugee Crisis: The Need for Action
By Kelly O'Donnell and Kathleen Newland
Report, January 2008
As border restrictions both within and outside Iraq tighten and sectarian
violence persists, the options for Iraq's estimated 4.5 million internally
and externally displaced appear bleak. MPI's report on the Iraqi refugee
crisis examines the situation in Iraq, Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon, as well
as the response of the United States and select EU Member States.
