ComingsNGoings: Immigration Event
September 30, 2015, 9:30am - 11:30am (Eastern). Migration Policy Institute (MPI) will host a discussion to look at the political and policy dynamics that came together to make the '65 Act possible. The symposium will highlight the convergence of politics, events, and personalities that resulted in its passage; how the Act changed the legal immigration system, setting U.S. policy on a new course; the ways it has reshaped the demographics of the United States; the effect of these changes on important legal and constitutional questions; and what these changes mean for the nation's future. For more information, see here.
