Viktor Marsai's PowerPoint Presentation
Event Summary
The Center for Immigration Studies hosted a panel discussion examining present asylum laws in the United States and in Europe, how they work, their impact on illegal immigration, and proposals for reform. Members of the newly formed International Network for Immigration Research (INIR), which includes like-minded think tanks in the U.S., Israel, Hungary, France, and the UK, discussed how their countries are navigating their current asylum crises and address the shared challenge of immigration control.
Participants examined whether the post-WWII asylum regime is an anachronism that needs to be re-thought and the proposed asylum reforms being discussed in the current negotiations between Republicans and Democrats. Watch to hear about the European Union Migration and Asylum Pact and what the U.S. can learn from this newly passed agreement.

Viktor Marsai, Director of the Budapest-based Migration Research Institute
