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?
