- **Event Name**: Kaffee und Kuchen: Why We Need Immigrants and Why That Causes Conflict
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 22 Mar, 2026 at 01:30 pm – Sun, 22 Mar, 2026 at 03:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Rescheduled from January 11th --

From building America's industrial backbone to filling critical gaps in today's workforce, immigrants have always been essential to our nation's economic vitality. This presentation explores the transformative role immigrants played from 1880 to 1924 as the United States shifted from farmland to factory floors—and examines their equally vital contributions today.

While the past saw immigrants fueling assembly lines and steel mills, today's economy demands their expertise at both ends of the spectrum: highly skilled professionals filling specialized roles and essential workers performing the hands-on labor that keeps communities running. As birth rates decline and populations age across virtually every advanced nation, immigrants are not just helpful—they're indispensable. Technology may advance, but it can't perform knee replacement surgery, care for nursing home residents, or repair your roof. Join us to discover why immigration remains fundamental to America's economic future.
