Describe the challenge you want to address:

The majority of the people present in this mosque were immigrants from Senegal and Mauritania. Many of them were recent asylum seekers who migrated into the US in the past 2 years. They lack status, Social Security, working permits, driver's licenses, etc.

Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:

Legal services for Spanish and French speakers that will allow migrants to be able to apply for Social Security, working permits, etc. Migrants need a year-long project that will assist them legally in getting all required documentation to work and remain in the US legally.
