[KR: It has been a while since we posted here, and today seems like an apt day to start again. The New York Times is initiating a national dialogue on immigration, with some excellent maps and tables of historical and contemporary trends, including settlement patterns. We encourage everyone to check out this feature.]

Welcome to a national conversation about immigration. Starting today, readers and specialists are invited to discuss themes that will be explored each Sunday in a series of articles that will appear online and in the newspaper in the coming months.

The first article, to be published this weekend, will report on a Virginia school district that segregates students who are the children of immigrants, and who don’t speak English well, to make it easier to give them intensive support. Is that a good idea?
