CIS hosted a panel discussion focusing on the impact of immigration on both population growth and the working-age share of America's population. The starting point for conversation was the recent report by the Center's Director of Research, Dr. Steven Camarota. Video and transcript will be posted when available.
President Trump has apparently fallen for the "legal good/illegal bad" immigration fallacy, and said he wants higher levels of legal immigration than ever before. But does his base? Read more.
What immigration actions has the president taken, and how effective have they been?
