US Immigration and Border Policies: The Wrong Actions at the Wrong Time for the Wrong Reasons
October 24 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Understanding the complexities of immigration, including its emotional impact, is vital for forming effective policies, a sentiment most Americans echo. Evaluating historical US immigration policies and their current implications, and determining the best future direction is key. Consideration of our current stance and the path forward is essential. Key considerations include designing an effective border or asylum system and potential immigration scenarios under a Trump or Harris administration.
