Presented by Josie Gonzalez
This course will discuss the historical roots of U.S. immigration—from open borders to federal control. How has major legislation influenced today’s immigration laws and policies? What was the impact of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, which legalized millions of undocumented workers and imposed criminal and civil sanctions against employers who knowingly hired undocumented workers? Did this legislation succeed at curtailing illegal immigration? What are the diverse ways immigrants gain permanent (“green card”) and temporary status? How do other countries, like Canada, decide which people can be admitted?
