From Ukraine, Mexico, Korea, Liberia — indeed, from virtually every nation on the map — the nearly 2 million immigrants living in New Jersey have made their presence known from the state’s urban north to its rural south.
Where they have settled and, more importantly, how they have been helped in acclimating to their new surroundings are the focus of an unusual effort at the Eagleton Institute of Politics in New Brunswick.
The Rutgers Immigration Infrastructure Map, a work in progress since last June, will identify and describe each of the 650-plus social-service agencies in New Jersey that support immigrants, and will map them on a website.
