There is a broad consensus that the United States’ immigration
system is broken, yet the political momentum behind the movement
has not yet led to a consensus on how to fix it. This momentum has
stemmed from the agreement that we have an immigration “crisis”
on our hands – millions of undocumented immigrants living and
working in the United States under increasingly harsh conditions,
tremendous spending on border security and enforcement measures
without protection of civil rights, changing voter demographics,
and other pressing issues have ushered in the moment for
immigration reform. This book presents research and policy
recommendations from leading U.S. immigration experts and scholars,
who have many valuable insights and nuanced perspectives to offer
to the current debate on immigration reform. The goal of this
immigration study is to disseminate knowledge and policy
recommendations to scholars, government officials, the media, and
the general policy community on vital issues regarding the present
question of immigration reform. This book discusses the future
prospects of immigration reform and delves into various details,
options, and obstacles related to immigration reform. The chapters
presented shed light on a number of issues that are currently being
debated in the immigration bill. Some of them address the salience
of the immigration issue in Latino political behavior and the
impact of demographic context. Other papers hone in on the
landscape of legislative initiatives addressing immigration at the
state and local levels, and some authors address the implications
of immigration reform for the labor market and economic climate.
The book will be of interest to both scholars and policy-makers
concerned with immigration in the United States.
