| 11/23/1993 | "Legal Immigrants Find Refuge, Prosperity in L.A." | Los Angeles Times | Los Angeles is the "new Ellis Island," and "perhaps no street better captures the immigrant experience" in the area than Sunset Boulevard. While some, such as the Federation for American Immigration Reform, seek to end new immigration, others, such as the Kaiser Permanente hospital located at 4867 Sunset Boulevard, have actively recruited immigrant workers. At the time of reporting, about 60% of Kaiser’s registered nurses were Asian, with 90% of those being Filipino. In Little Armenia, there are immigrants who sought refuge from war or religious persecution. One such family was the Simitians, who owned the Diamond World Travel Agency located at 5171 Sunset Boulevard. Since Sunset passes near Chinatown, the boulevard also has many Chinese immigrants and a Chinatown Service Center located at 300 Sunset Boulevard. Other groups along the street include Soviet Jews, Mexicans and Central Americans, and Europeans, among others. As a result Sunset Boulevard is a “mosaic of cultures.” |
