October 28th is National Immigrants Day. ⭐️

The U.S. is a nation of immigrants. Unless we have Indigenous roots to this land, our ancestors were foreigners who crossed an ocean to be here.

“Frontier” | New music video for National Immigrants Day 🌊 “Frontier” is inspired by the bravery of those who seek a better life for themselves. Released on National Immigrants Day, this music video is dedicated to the refugees, explorers, and pilgrims who have made epic journeys for their dreams. National Immigrants Day was established on October 28, 1987 by none other than President Ronald Reagan to honor the contributions and achievements of immigrants in shaping culture and society. Piano/vocal recording from AFTERGLOW 🎹 Music & Lyrics ℗ © 2019 Jeannie Novak Engineered by Sejo Navajas at 4th Street Recording Studio (Santa Monica, CA) Mixing & Post-Production by Bobby Vickery #musicvideo #piano #indiemusic #immigrantstories #newbeginnings •••••••••• FRONTIER © 2019 Jeannie Novak Why do they look at me that way? Do I seem that strange? Wondering if I’ll ever see the other side The birds are singing to me every single day Why don’t they all want me to stay? Their words are a mystery to me But I can read their eyes If I cross the line, will they come for me? Over there, it’s beautiful – and it’s beckoning to me But if I get through, will I be free? At the crossroads of our lives It’s getting hard to survive And another part of me has died We’ll find another way To face another day Crying over time that’s slipping by A frontier away We’ll be swimming to our dream A frontier away Water’s deeper than it seems I’ve given my life for this moment A frontier away My eyes are watching, waiting But can I truly see? Did another soul just smile back at me? Am I accepted as I’ve turned out to be? Have I come closer through the sea? At the crossroads of our lives It’s getting hard to survive And another part of me has died We’ll find another way To face another day Grieving over time that’s slipping by A frontier away We’ll be swimming to our dream A frontier away It’s wider than it seems I’ve given my life for this moment But swimming in quicksand I reach out for your hand We fall back again And start over We’ll start over again Just around the bend Keeping every thought until the end It’s not far away We’re getting closer every day Nearing our destination Stopping our frustration – yeah Water’s deeper than it seems I’ve given my life for this moment But swimming in quicksand I reach out for your hand We fall back again And start over

The Irony of This National Immigrants Day 6 in 10 Americans say that all immigrants, regardless of legal status, should have basic rights and protections

🗽 On National Immigrants Day, PRRI Director of Research Diana Orcés analyzes what the 2025 American Values Survey can tell us about Americans’ views on immigrants, immigration policy, and due process.

#NationalImmigrantsDay

We need to remember the rights of the Constitution apply to all persons in the US, like Due Process, including immigrants. We should not be demonizing those that come to our country for a better life. #NationalImmigrantsDay

Today marks #NationalImmigrantsDay. In recent months, immigrants in the U.S. have faced growing hostility fueled by the actions of the second Trump administration.

National Immigrants Day is a good day to remind Donald Trump: Don't mess with NYC.

As a city of immigrants, we know that sanctuary makes us safer, and that together, we are stronger in fighting for all our communities.
