Anticipating immigration changes under Biden/Harris
This week, I had the pleasure of participating in a webinar on what changes we can expect on the immigration front in a Biden/Harris administration.
It was
co-organized by the Global Migration Center, UC Davis; the Berkeley Interdisciplinary Migration Initiative, UC Berkeley; and the Center for Comparative Immigration Studies, UC San Diego. The panelists were:
- Dianne Solis (immigration journalist, Dallas Morning News)
-
Kevin Johnson
(UC Davis School of Law dean), and the directors of each of three UC immigration research centers: Irene Bloemraad, David Fitzgerald and
Giovanni Peri
(UC Davis). The moderator was
Brad Jones
, department of Political Science, UC Davis .
More than 100 reporters and audience members were able to write in questions during the webinar. I discussed some of the immediate policy changes that we might see as well as the long-term possibilities for Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform.
The presentations were first-rate and the Q&A led to a rich discussion. We just might see big immigration changes in the Biden/Harris administration. Stay tuned!
