SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Chinese Historical Society of America (CHSA)
(see times)
Join Hiroshi Motomura at The Learning Center for a discussion of his new book, Immigration Outside of the Law (2014, Oxford), on January 31 from 1-2:30 pm. He will use the book’s framework to discuss hot topics in immigration policy today, tackling questions such as: How has it happened that over 11 million people live in the United States without lawful immigration status? What does it mean to be in the country unlawfully? What is the role of state and local governments in dealing with unauthorized migration? Are unauthorized migrants “Americans in waiting?”
Debates over “illegal” or “undocumented” immigrants have become more polarized than ever. In Immigration Outside the Law, Hiroshi Motomura takes a historical perspective on the topic, explaining the roots of today’s dilemma in Chinese exclusion, Mexican labor migration, and late twentieth-century politics. He also offers a roadmap for understanding current disagreements and points the way toward durable solutions.
Books will be available for purchase and signing after the event.
