Tomorrow brings "Documenting the Immigrant: U.S. Immigration Policy Past, Present, and Future," a major conference organized by the UC Davis Institute for Social Sciences with co-sponsors including the School of Law.
I will speak on a panel in the afternoon.
From the conference web page:
This one-day conference, hosted by ISS, will bring scholars from multiple disciplines together with policy activists, journalists, and individuals connected to the legislative environment to explore U.S. immigration policy since 9/11 and address the implications for immigration policy of the Trump presidency.
