They came to Maine for a job or to reunite with their family or because they fell in love or to attend college here or to flee persecution in their homelands. Although the twenty-five immigrants who tell their stories had widely varying reasons for coming to Maine, many have made remarkable contributions to the state. Some contribute high-level skills in medicine, engineering, academia, law, public-school education, hotel management, and social services. Others have enriched the state's arts and sports worlds. Several are used to going back and forth across borders, either as transnational professionals or as migrant workers. About one-third of these immigrants are successful entrepreneurs. As you will find out, the journeys of these immigrants have not been easy, but all of them are glad they wound up in this state and are proud of their new identities as Mainers.

Why do people leave their countries of origin? An economic opportunity, a better education for themselves or children, a result of war, crime, government repression, political strife, or a myriad of other reasons that require a drastic move? Seen as a beacon of hope, often that move is to the United States. The author has interviewed fourteen people who have come from various countries whose departure culminated as a result of one of the pressures that immigrants confront. The exodus from their countries of origin will bring you deeply into their harrowing journeys that eventually lead to America. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to an organization that supports refugees.

Excerpt from Foreign-Born Neighbors There are seven states in the Union where the Immigra tion Problem is most acute. At the head of these stand Massachusetts and Rhode Island. These two common wealths have, estimated in percentage of population, more foreign-born peoples than any state in the Union. The serious industrial, social and political questions, precipitated by more than thirty percent of the population being peoples of varied tongues, customs, and habits, have commanded the attention of statesmen, educators, reformers and philanthropists. Ev ery productive organization in the two states have, again and again, discussed the Problem of Immigration; and both state and municipal legislators have readily enacted laws planned to meet the ills specified by intelligent public-spirited individuals. The laws designed to wipe out the black spots due to immigra tion were welcomed; the police executing these laws have rendered valiant service; the courts have interpreted and en forced these laws; and, yet, we all feel we want something more before the Immigration Problem is solved. We need a sane, simple, and practical plan to meet the foreigner's needs we need sympathetic, intelligent, and patriotic men to take the foreigner by the hand and teach him what we mean in a Democracy by the tie that binds. This manual, by Dr. George W. Tupper, is an exposition of sane, simple and practical methods to help in the process of assimilating foreign-speaking men. They are now in practise, and back of them are five years' experience. Thou sands of foreigners have been helped by these plans. They can be used by any group of men, moved by enthusiasm for humanity. The author in giving this concise, illuminating, and pictorial presentation of the Problem of Immigration in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, together with tested and tried plans for its solution, is contributing a treatise of in estimable worth to every patriot in these states.

The American Dream is alive and well in this memoir of a Muslim immigrant from India who arrived planning to start a business, working so hard toward his personal goals that he even pumped gas and sold vacuum cleaners door to door. Victor Begg successfully built a thriving, regional chain of furniture stores. Along the way, he discovered that America’s greatest promise lies in building healthy communities with our neighbors. “In one book, I have come to understand much more about Islam, its followers and its teachings,” Rabbi Bruce Benson writes in the book’s Foreword. “I’ve come to realize that the challenges Muslim immigrants have faced are similar to what Jews and many other immigrant groups have experienced as they tried to settle in America. By the end of this book, I hurt with Victor and I laugh with him, because—as Americans—we share so much. We arehim. His journey is our journey. This is our story.” As Victor reached out to others, he used his entrepreneurial skills to co-found a new kind of ethnically diverse mosque as well as influential nonprofits designed to help others. Agreeing to serve as a regional spokesperson for Muslims, he got more than he bargained for—responding to tragedies that included 9/11 and a massacre in a Florida nightclub. “Person by person, friend by friend, good-hearted people change the world,” Victor writes in this memoir. His greatest talents turned out to be his ongoing ability to invite all of us to open our hearts, roll up our sleeves and reach out to help each other. “We need stories of our Muslim neighbors like Victor Begg to break down the walls that separate us and to educate us about those who might seem so strange, at first, but might become heart friends if given the chance,” writes the Rev. Daniel L. Buttry in the book’s Preface. “Along the way, we might discover some true American heroes. Victor is just such a hero: selfless, ordinary, but willing to risk to make our nation and our world a better place.” In this era when media outlets echo with extremist claims demonizing immigrants and Muslims, in particular, readers will discover how much American families share in our diversity of faiths and ethnicities. “A lot of foggy information clouds the American brain concerning Muslims. Victor’s representative story, his steady, 40-year love affair with America, blows much of it away,” writes Michael Wolfe, a filmmaker and author of One Thousand Roads to Mecca. “This book’s importance really is global, considering how often migrants, refugees and Muslims in particular are demonized by extremists around the world,” writes Larbi Mageri, a Muslim journalist based in Algeria who is a co-founder of the International Association of Religion Journalists. “One of the biggest challenges for Muslims who have never visited the U.S. is getting a clear sense of how Muslims live there in these turbulent times. There are so many conflicting claims and stories about life in the U.S. Through reading Victor’s true stories, I was able to experience American life for Muslims—without ever leaving my home. The lasting impression I am left with, after reading Victor’s memoir, is that anyone would be lucky to have a Muslim neighbor like this living next door.” Ultimately, Victor invites readers to pray with him: “God bless America.” As you follow him along this remarkable journey, as you catch his vision of a vibrant America—you are likely to find your own family and your own values mirrored in his story. You’re likely to want to share this book with friends and join in building a better world.

Why do some countries welcome new arrivals from abroad while other nations are less hospitable? Why do immigration policies change over time? Fences and Neighbors considers several of the world's wealthiest democracies, nations that remain magnets for economic migrants as well as for refugees. Focusing on the tendency of immigrants to concentrate in specific locations in their new homelands, this book is the first to analyze the implications of this political geography for democracies. Politics of immigration control starts at the local level, Jeannette Money asserts. Drawing on detailed evidence from Britain, France, and Australia, and more briefly from the United States, she demonstrates that local support for and opposition to immigration is contingent upon economic conditions, as well as the numbers of foreigners entering the country and their access to the resources of the welfare state. Whether these local pressures are translated into policies of openness or closure at the national level depends on whether the local constituencies are critical to maintaining or gaining a national electoral majority.

How do different Christian denominations in the United States approach immigration issues? In Immigrant Neighbors among Us, U.S. Hispanic scholars creatively mine the resources of their theological traditions to reflect on one of the most controversial issues of our day. Representative theologians from Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Reformed, Methodist/Wesleyan, Pentecostal, and Independent Evangelical church families show how biblical narratives, historical events, systematic frameworks, ethical principles, and models of ministry shape their traditions' perspectives on immigrant neighbors, law, and reform. Each chapter provides questions for dialogue.

Several immigrants from different parts of the world end up as neighbors in the East New York neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. They all affect each other one way or the other as they pursue the proverbial golden fleece. There is action, adventure, backstabbing, betrayal, deceit, intrigue, lying, and living in constant fear as officers of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, (ICE), agency close in on them. The question is how far are they willing to go for the American Green Card, especially in this era of the infamous 'wall'?
