Immigration

Catalog description

This course examines the topic of immigration from multiple perspectives: historical comparison between current and previous waves of immigrants, the complex economic and social impacts of immigrants (both legal and unauthorized), comparative immigration policies, and the post-9/11 national security implications of immigration. This course aims to have you explore and challenge your own views, try to make snese of completing arguments and evidence, and gain a respect for perspectives not your own. A visit to the National Immigration Museum at Ellis Island is planned.
