The perfect handbook for Immigration activists, scholars, policy makers, and anyone who cares about one of the most contentious issues of our age, Immigration Matters makes accessible an Immigration policy that both remediates the harm done to immigrant workers and communities under Trump and advances a bold new vision for the future.
Immigration Matters delves into a variety of topics including new ways to frame Immigration issues, fresh thinking on key aspects of policy, challenges of integration, workers\' rights, family reunification, legalization, paths to citizenship, and humane enforcement.
The book also explores the contributions of immigrants to the nation\'s identity, its economy, and Progressive Movements for social change.
It brings together key movement leaders and academics to share cutting-edge approaches to the urgent issues facing the immigrant community, along with fresh solutions to vexing questions of so-called "Future flows" that have bedeviled policy makers for decades.
Immigration Matters offers a new, actionable vision for Immigration policy.
Now is the time for a reset.
In the Trump years, preoccupied with crisis upon crisis, advocates had few opportunities to consider questions of long-term policy or Future strategy.
