The National Immigration Forum is an immigrant advocacy non-profit group,[1] based in Washington, DC. It was founded by Phyllis Eisen and Rick Swartz,[2] with Swartz as the president and Eisen as the vice president[3]. The Forum uses its communications, advocacy and policy expertise to advocate for immigration, refugees and funding to foreign nations.[4]

Ali Noorani has served as the Forum's Executive Director since 2008.

The Forum focuses on four main priorities:

  • Immigration Reform and Workforce Needs – Shaping the policies necessary to make our immigration system serve the national interest, meeting the needs of our economy, workers, and families.
  • Integration and Citizenship – Creating the opportunities necessary for immigrants to succeed and contribute to the growth and prosperity of America.
  • Borders and Interior Enforcement – Developing fiscally responsible and humane policies that protect America and promote commerce, while respecting the rights of workers and employers, families, and communities.
  • State and Local Immigration Developments – Promoting the principle that immigration law and enforcement are federal responsibilities.
