"IMMIGRATION AND POLITICS" WITH DR. MARJORIE HERSHEY
Immigration and deportation have been political flashpoints for centuries, but these issues have been defined in very different ways by different groups. In this talk, Marjorie Hershey, Professor Emeritus of Political Science, award-winning scholar and teacher of electoral politics, will explore real facts about immigration to the US in recent decades, the widely differing ways immigration has been portrayed in American political debate, and the consequences of those differing definitions for public policy. Join her to consider some ways to deal with the genuine economic, cultural, and political issues of legal and undocumented immigration while also coping with the emotional tone of the public discussion surrounding it.
