The Word on the Street

The Tomorrow’s America Project collects interviews from people of all walks of life, in communities all across the United States. Some of these people are involved in local government, law enforcement, education, charity groups, and non-profit organizations, while others are everyday citizens.

This collection of interviews, called The Word on the Street, represents what the public-at-large thinks and knows and how it reacts to the impact of mass immigration in local communities.
