The Immigrant Competitors

Since 1978, Human Rights First has championed freedom and dignity for all, at home and abroad. Our near half-century of impact includes securing landmark protections for refugees, building bipartisan guardrails against torture, forging new frameworks to hold global human rights abusers accountable, and uplifting human rights defenders worldwide. Grounded in legal rigor and with a bias towards innovation, we build broad-based coalitions and equip them with new tools to ensure that justice and democracy prevail.

Since 1979, the National Immigration Law Center has been dedicated to defending and advancing the rights of low-income immigrants and their family members. Over the past 30 years, NILC has earned a national reputation as a leading expert on immigration, public benefits, and employment laws affecting immigrants and refugees. Our extensive knowledge of the complex interplay between immigrants' legal status and their rights under U.S. laws is an essential resource for legal aid programs, community groups, and social service agencies across the country.

The Migration Policy Institute (MPI) is an independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit think tank in Washington, DC dedicated to analysis of the movement of people worldwide. It has a sister organization, Migration Policy Institute Europe (MPI Europe), based in Brussels. MPI provides analysis, development, and evaluation of migration and refugee policies at the local, national, and international levels. It aims to meet the rising demand for pragmatic and thoughtful responses to the challenges and opportunities that large-scale migration, whether voluntary or forced, presents to communities and institutions in an increasingly integrated world. MPI is guided by the philosophy that international migration needs active and intelligent management. When such policies are in place and are responsibly administered, they bring benefits to immigrants and their families, communities of origin and destination, and sending and receiving countries.
