Immigration Matters: Movements, Visions, and Strategies for a Progressive Future
Channel: New America
Date: 2021-09-28

Immigration Matters offers a new, actionable vision for immigration policy. 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. The book also explores the contributions of immigrants to the nation’s identity, its economy, and progressive movements for social change.

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.

Join New America for a panel discussion between Immigration Matters contributors Cecilia Muñoz, Ruth Milkman, Justin Gest, and moderated by Tammy Kim to mark the book’s publication in paperback.
