The American Immigration Council is a Washington, D.C.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and advocacy group.[1][2][3] It studies immigration to the United States, advocates for undocumented immigrants in the United States, and attempts to educate the public on what it describes as "the important and enduring contributions that immigrants make to America."[4] It was established in 1987, originally as the American Immigration Law Foundation, by the American Immigration Lawyers Association.[5]
