Managing Migration

Speaker Insights:

Katrina Burgess- "A lot of it is political theatre so that Trump and the folks around him can claim that they've put their foot down on people here illegally. And look, we can send a signal to people who might want to come to the United States, but in actuality they're not going to deport 11 million people. It's logistically impossible." 

Carlos Alvarado- "If you look at the public value of any immigration policy, it's difficult to find the impact, except if you look at it symbolically... this country has relied on migration as one of the key engines of its economy since the Pilgrims arrived here."
