States As Immigration Battlegrounds

This is an Archive of a Past Event

We invite you to attend this talk on "States As Immigration Battlegrounds" with presenters S. Karthick Ramakrishnan and Pratheepan Gulasekaram.

In the flurry of local and state laws addressing immigration over the past decade, legislation has shifted from the Arizona-type laws that encourage "self-deportation" to California-style laws that promote immigrant integration.  Ramakrishnan and Gulasekaram discuss this evolving era of immigration federalism and which laws prove effective and why.
