A couple ideas
Hey, just wanted to throw out a couple of other ideas that I thought of lying awake at night (obviously when I have any free time at all, I think about immigration). Anyways, I guess these two ideas would go along with the adjustments immigrants have to make to American life. I know I have seen many foreign people here in Syracuse playing pick-up soccer (a sport very popular in every other country). One story might focus on the activities, such as sports, that immigrants play in order to perhaps retain some of their own heritage.
Also, I noticed an article in the Post-Standard articles about more English teachers being hired because few kids are coming to school competent in the language. So the adjustments schools make and the adjustments immigrant children are forced to make in an entirely new country.
That's all from me... see you all Monday.

I definitely think that is something that would be interesting - how do these immigrants keep their culture while in a country that doesn't recognize them, or do they at all? It would be interesting to see what kind of effects the attempt to assimilate in a new country/culture has on their traditions. It could definitely be something that you could not only have good photos on for the print, it something that could translate to the web pretty easily (video of a traditional ceremony, or soundslides).
