Vision

 CIMA believes in the American dream.  The dream for a better life safe from fear, oppression, exploitation, and injustice.  We know newcomers to this country also believe in this dream.  Every day CIMA supports new immigrant families as they reach for the American dream.  We support them because our ancestors were immigrants, too.  The American dream was the driving force in their lives.  Many of our ancestors suffered discrimination based on race, religion, ethnic origin, sex, and sexual orientation. Many left loved ones and families behind. They all took risks and made sacrifices to pursue their dream, and our ancestors prevailed.  Thus, we understand the struggles of this generation of immigrants.  We share the dream that brought them  to America, and we are committed to supporting and helping new immigrants reach the better life they seek in America.

Tragically, new immigrants are vulnerable to those who would take advantage of the immigrant's lack of understanding of our language, culture, and economic and political systems.  Young families with limited resources are the most vulnerable, yet they are special treasures for America because they bring not only our future citizens but also the energy, hard work and dreams which enrich of culture. We strive to support and assist the new immigrant in their quest to realize the American dream.
