There are many immigrant communities in Dutchess County and Hispanics
are among the fastest growing, with a 50% increase between 2000 and
2005. The issues surrounding this growth have implications for other
immigrant communities and all residents of Dutchess County. What challenges
and opportunities does immigration present? Is our county a microcosm of
the nation or are we distinctive?
