Television and newspapers are full of stories about the number of foreigners coming into the United States. We need to remember that many of these people are here legally and are law abiding residents of this country. They face incredible obstacles and trying to become part of the American community and it is more than just a language barrier. Many times the services of a group legal plan are desperately needed.

Not being able to speak English fluently is just one of the problems. The language and ignorance about the American legal system make things very difficult. Children of immigrants may have special needs that require publicly funded assistance programs.

The ability to get housing can be a serious dilemma as families try to get a roof over their heads. Group legal services are meant to help people overcome obstacles.
