The American Immigration Law Foundation (AILF) is celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Immigrant Achievement Awards on Friday, March 18, 2005 in Washington, D.C. Each year, AILF celebrates the myriad contributions of immigrants to the fabric of this great nation in a variety of fields; the sciences, arts, humanities, astronomy, literature, etc. The Washington, D.C. Chapter of the American Immigration Law Foundation first started celebrating the contributions of immigrants to the United States ten years ago, in 1995. This was such a popular idea that other chapters, like New York and Chicago, emulated our model and held their own successful events in these larger cities.

AILF's mission is to highlight the positive contributions of immigrants, educate the public on immigration issues, and litigate, when necessary. The Law Office of Sheela Murthy and The Murthy Foundation have been proud supporters and contributors of AILF over the years. This celebration is an opportunity to focus on the talents of immigrants to the United States. After all, we are a nation of immigrants. In a post-9/11 world, with so much focus on security and outside threats, we tend to forget that the "evil doers," who need to be dealt with severely, are a miniscule percentage of the people of the world. We need to celebrate the wonderful contributions of those who have helped to make the U.S. a stronger and better country.
