Students should keep an eye out for newspaper articles and other material that shed light on the issue of immigration in New York City. The article in the February 10 New York Times on the growing number of cabbies who aren’t native-born New Yorkers is a perfect example. Please post such articles or other items of interest in the category “General Discussion.”

This sort of material will help broaden everyone’s understanding of the issues that are the focus of the class. Not to mention the fact that participation on the class website is part of your grade!
