December 22, 2023 Dear John, As you know, MPI works tirelessly to serve as a rare voice of pragmatism and reason in the immigration policy debate and is dedicated to shedding light, not heat, in a policy area that is increasingly polarized and often seems intractable.
We are committed to common-sense solutions to manage migration and integration systems so they can work in the best interests of all sectors of society, even while facing ever-evolving challenges. Day in, day out, we develop and share the essential data, evidence-informed analysis, and practical policy ideas that bring key knowledge to policymakers and publics alike. As you make your year-end giving decisions, would you consider supporting our work? Our impact in 2023 has been tangible. We are a leading voice encouraging practical steps for cooperation on migration at a time of especially high mobility throughout the Americas. We are working with key stakeholders in the Americas to help fulfill the commitments made in the Los Angeles Declaration on Migration and Protection signed by the United States and 20 other countries.
We are mapping the stresses on the U.S. immigration system through rigorous analysis and proposing effective solutions. This year, we did path-breaking work on the challenges facing the U.S. immigration courts system, the refugee resettlement network, and border enforcement and asylum operations.
We are working to deepen the integration of immigrants in the United States, for the well-being of immigrant families and the broader society. Through research and convenings, we are offering ideas on how K-12 education and adult education and workforce development systems can better meet the needs of individuals who may have limited proficiency in English, less access to technology, or interrupted education.
In this highly politicized era, MPI remains deeply committed to being a resolutely nonpartisan, independent voice that informs, not inflames, debates and that seeks solutions, not talking points.
Will you consider making a gift to support our work in 2024? |

On behalf of my colleagues, I thank you for your engagement with our work and send my warmest wishes for happy holidays and a great start to 2024.
