National Immigration Law Center

Since 1979, the National Immigration Law Center has been dedicated to defending and advancing the rights of low-income immigrants and their family members. Over the past 30 years, NILC has earned a national reputation as a leading expert on immigration, public benefits, and employment laws affecting immigrants and refugees. Our extensive knowledge of the complex interplay between immigrants'​ legal status and their rights under U.S. laws is an essential resource for legal aid programs, community groups, and social service agencies across the country.
