For the first time, the 2000 U.S. Census found that more immigrants reside in the suburbs of metropolitan Chicago than in the city of Chicago itself. Immigration is changing the makeup of the suburban region. Many towns are facing challenges such as overcrowding in housing, restructuring of schools, issues with transportation, and lack of available jobs. Many of these communities have limited experience integrating immigrant groups, particularly in large numbers, but they are an important human asset to be embraced.

Kenneth Johnson, a professor at Loyola University, will present the demographic trends of our region and projections of what the future holds. Sylvia Puente, director of the Metropolitan Initiative at the Institute for Latino Studies at the University of Notre Dame, will speak about the Latino community in the region. Tara Malone from the Daily Herald will moderate. Findings from both the University of Notre Dame’s State of Latino Chicago report as well as The Chicago Council on Global Affairs’ recently released report on Mexican integration, A Shared Future: The Economic Engagement of Greater Chicago and Its Mexican Community, will be shared.
