Search the headlines these days, and you’ll find countless references to “migrant crisis,” “border crisis,” and similar formulations. Whether or not it is accurate to label the present moment a crisis, the challenges confronting the immigration system are serious-including migrants arriving at the Southern border in record numbers, cities struggling to provide shelter to new arrivals, and Congress failing for nearly two decades to address the status of 11 million undocumented people living in the United States. Yet this moment also presents opportunities to reshape the immigration policy landscape to build toward a more rational future. At this Forum, panelists explored the roots of the current challenges, which go back decades and cut across administrations of both parties; considered anew the role that national and local political actors can play in addressing these challenges; and discussed the road ahead for immigration law and policy.
