The Future of Immigration (Marta Tienda) by Princeton Policy Podcasts

In 2013, the Senate passed — but the House failed to consider — a bipartisan immigration reform bill that would have provided a path to citizenship for many undocumented immigrants. This year, voters will consider President Trump’s and Joe Biden’s vastly different approaches on border security, refugee admissions, the separation of families at the border, and the status of Dreamers, undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children.

Marta Tienda joins Before the Ballot to discuss the facts and politicization of immigration. She is the Maurice P. During Professor in demographic studies at Princeton University.
