Dean Johnson Quoted in Chinese Sciences Today

Dean Kevin R. Johnson is quoted in a Chinese-language article in Chinese Sciences Today regarding the debate in the United States over undocumented immigration.

In the article, Dean Johnson talks about the history of immigration policy in the United States and the ways in which debates over undocumented immigration have been a source of political controversy in recent years. Still, the overall benefits of immigration outweigh the costs, he said, and an open immigration policy can help support the nation’s efforts to combat terrorism and safeguard national security.
