G.I. hosts immigration clinic

By mid-morning Wednesday, more than 50 people had come to Trinity United Methodist Church to talk to immigration officials with the Department of Homeland Security about various immigration cases.

The Grand Island clinic was requested by the Multicultural Coalition in Grand Island and arranged by U.S. Sen. Ben Nelson's office.

Many people came with manilla envelopes filled with immigration papers to ask about the progress of their own immigration cases, which usually take years to play out, with many individual steps along the way, before they can become a naturalized U.S. citizen.

Some people also had questions about relatives whom they might want to bring to this country, said Odalys Perez, executive director of the Multicultural Coalition.
