American immigrant

"Generations of immigrants bring their rich cultures to America. Rosalie Porter is one of those millions, but she is also one in a million. Read American Immigrant to understand why we value those who come here to improve their lives and ours." -Senator Stan Rosenberg, President Pro Tempore, Massachusetts State Senate "American Immigrant will delight those who know only the public Dr. Porter. This working class Italian immigrant deferred college to help support her family, ultimately earned a doctorate, and fought against a program hurting immigrant children. Rosalie's a 'Profile in Courage' and an amusing, insightful writer." -Christine Rossell, Professor of Political Science, Boston University "Porter is a national treasure-a bilingual teacher who had the guts to take on the politically correct educational establishment." -John J. Miller, National Review, Author of The Unmaking of Americans "Rosalie Porter is a fascinating character. Her life story reflects the most basic American ethic-the individual's freedom to work, serve and achieve." -Lincoln Tamayo, Massachusetts English for the Children Campaign 2002
