Honorary Chair Pauline Medrano says, The new Census figures are a clear indication of the changes impacting our communities, governments and citizens in general. We all know that tremendous challenges lie ahead of us and that solutions are not easy to reach. In the DFW Metroplex 44 % of our residents are immigrants and their families, and 239 languages are spoken. I want to take this opportunity to congratulate DFW International Community Alliance for all the efforts to transmit important information to our Immigrant community and for staging exciting civic and cultural events like the DFW Today luncheon with Dr. Murdock."
