Strengthening Communities by Integrating Immigrants and Refugees 
Federal Action Plan and Progress Report

Our country has long been a beacon of hope and opportunity for people from around the world. Today, 41.3 million foreign-born residents live in the United States and are contributing to the vitality of our country and their communities. This includes the over 3 million refugees who have resettled here since 1975 from countries that span the globe. These immigrants and refugees are adding much to our country’s social and cultural fabric, and are also critical to our country’s continued economic prosperity. This book provides a review of the Federal Strategic Action Plan on Immigrant and Refugee Integration, which outlines core goals and recommendations to enhance civic, economic, and linguistic integration of new Americans.
