Expanded Course Description
Forty million immigrants—including eleven million undocumented immigrants—call the U.S. home today. This class covers reasons for migration, immigration law that shapes who can enter a country and who is excluded, and consequences of migration. These themes allow for the investigation of global-scale motivations for migration from and to particular locations as well as how legal and social "contexts of reception" matter to how immigrant groups incorporate into a host country.
