Details

Immigration remains one of the most pressing and debated issues of our time—impacting economies, communities, and politics across the globe. In this discussion, we’ll explore the current landscape of immigration worldwide, with a particular focus on the United States.

We’ll examine the various types of immigration today, including family-based, employment-based, education-based, humanitarian (refugee/asylum), and undocumented migration. We’ll also discuss the key differences between legal and illegal immigration, and the challenges faced by individuals navigating both systems.

The conversation will touch on major policy debates, enforcement practices, border control, and the human impact of immigration laws. What are the proposed reforms being discussed in Washington? How are states responding? And what does a fair and functional immigration system look like for the future?
