Research to Inform Policy, Practice, and Advocacy  on Migration-Related Issues

A Message to our Readers

 

During this period of national and international emergency, the Portal will continue to alert you to the latest research in the broad field of immigration policy.  We are grateful to our partners and team of volunteer contributors for their continuing commitment to this work. We don't know how the current crisis will impact immigration policy in the United States. On the one hand, we may emerge with a greater appreciation for the hard work and dedication of immigrants in vital employment sectors, such as food production and health care.  On the other hand, we may see intensified efforts by populist forces to scapegoat immigrants for the current crisis and to scale back immigration to realize their vision for America. Whoever prevails in the end, we may be on the brink of a new era of both opportunity and constraint.  So long as the research community continues to produce relevant studies addressing current policy issues, we will continue to provide you with information about their insights and conclusions. If you have any thoughts or suggestions about the current situation, please do not hesitate to write us at: mail@usdiversitydynamics.com.  We wish you good health and the strength to endure whatever trials remain.
