Immigration Policy in the Next Administration

Latino voters were decisive in the last election, giving renewed momentum for immigration reform in the next Congress. What would be the likely dimensions of immigration reform legislation? Where might the two parties compromise in order to move reform forward? What are the implications for the U.S. economy and labor market? AS/COA and the New York Immigration Coalition hosted a discussion on these issues and more.
