Recognizing that fluency in English increases an individuals opportunities for economic success while offering fuller participation in all areas in American life, DFW International Community Alliance has prepared this guide for you. ANNE MARIE WEISS ARMUSH DFW International PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER Throughout our history we have relied on the expertise, strength, and special skills of foreign workers and immigrants to build the United States. We recognize that we are unique in the world because all Americans except for our indigenous peoples are descended from immigrants. Their cultures and the challenges they continue to face as they assimilate are the story of our nation. Their hopes and dreams, their strong belief in family and freedom enrich and energize America. This guide is a small symbol of our gratitude to you and to the dedicated educators who wish to assist you in reaching your personal and economic goals. CESAR CALDERON DFW International Executive Committee Director of UFCW 4 El 44% de los residentes de North Texas son Nuevos Americanos (nacidos en el extranjero o sus hijos) y en el 32% de nuestros hogares se habla un lenguaje distinto al inglés. Reconociendo que hablar fluidamente Inglés aumenta nuestras oportunidades de lograr éxito económico y nos permite una participación más plena en todos los ámbitos de la vida estadounidense, es que desde DFW International Community Alliance hemos preparado esta guía para usted. A lo largo de nuestra historia, la experiencia, fortaleza y habilidades especiales de los trabajadores extranjeros y los inmigrantes han sido una extraordinaria ayuda para construir este país. Somos únicos en el mundo porque todos los americanos, a excepción de nuestros pueblos indígenas, son descendientes de inmigrantes. Sus esperanzas y sus sueños, su fuerte creencia en la familia y la libertad, enriquecen y dinamizan a Estados Unidos.
