ONE WOMAN’S JOURNEY – PERSONAL, PROFESSIONAL, POLITICAL PDF Print E-mail

rosaliebook.jpgRosalie Pedalino Porter advises schools and the U.S. Congress on education policy. She has lived and lectured in the Middle East, Far East and Europe. Half personal memoir, half details of her public life, American Immigrant chronicles three decades of efforts to improve the education of immigrant children. Her story is not simply about “growing up immigrant,” but an account of American opportunity, rich with humor, joy, and enduring love.

Advance praise for American Immigrant:
“Rosalie Porter is a national treasure – a bilingual teacher who had the guts to take on the politically-correct establishment, and who taught us all a lesson on the importance of learning English.”
John Miller, National Review
Author, The Unmaking of Americans

“American Immigrant: My Life in Three Languages is the compelling story of a striver who rose from poverty through a hard-won education and a hilarious assortment of jobs. I was there with Rosalie, a loyal colleague and a true American, for some of the struggles.”

Ricardo K. Munro,
California Educator

“Generations of immigrants bring their rich cultures to America. Rosalie Porter is one of those millions. Read American Immigrant to understand why we value those who come here to improve their lives and ours.”
Senator Stan Rosenberg, President Pro Tempore,
Massachusetts State Senate

“Porter’s story is quintessentially American: the young girl comes to the United States, studies hard, exceeds everyone’s expectations, then devotes her life to helping those who came after her. Rosalie’s engaging prose makes wonderful reading. Her contribution to her adopted country has immeasurably enriched us.”
Linda Chavez, Chairman
Center for Equal Opportunity

The Realities of Immigration - by Linda Chavez, Commentary Magazine PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 03 August 2007

What to do about immigration-both legal and illegal-has become one of the most controversial public-policy debates in recent memory. But why it has occurred at this particular moment is something of a mystery. The rate of immigration into the U.S., although high, is still below what it was even a few years ago, the peak having been reached in the late 1990's. President Bush first talked about comprehensive immigration reform almost immediately after assuming office, but he put the plan on hold after 9/11 and only reintroduced the idea in 2004. Why the current flap?
