The Immigration Project's web site is:
   http://www.immigrationproject.org/

They're based in Granite City, in southern IL.  They regularly run
Immigration Clinics, allowing clients to talk to immigration lawyers in person
in cities around the state -- e.g. they came to seven cities,
from Moline to Carbondale, in January.

"The Immigration Project is the only BIA Accredited non-profit provider of
immigration legal services located south of I-80 in Illinois.  At the present
time we provide four types of program services: Information, Counseling and
Referral; Immigration Application Support; Assistance for Immigrant Crime
Victims; and New Americans Citizenship Initiative.  We also have an Outreach
program that supports these services."

Their web site also points to their January 2008 newsletter,
which among other good stuff has summaries of comments from the
presidential candidates on immigration.
