Abstract
Although the national setting for immigrants is becoming ever more hostile, immigrants are a critical part of many rural economies in Iowa. This case study describes and analyzes the formation of a local advocacy coalition of organizations concerned about the practical and pluralism aspects of new immigrants to make the community more welcoming and supporting in Sioux County, Iowa.

Part of the Research on Latinos in Iowa series sponsored by Latinoamericanos, Latino Heritage Committee and the Department of Sociology.

Latino Research Seminars
This series, initiated by a group of ISU faculty, staff, and graduate students, aims to bring together students and faculty members at Iowa State who are addressing issues and concerns that affect Latinos in Iowa.
