Immigration: The Vexing Issue of our Time – Muzaffar Chishti

While it  has been one of the defining themes of President Trump’s political agenda, immigration has taken center stage in the US political discourse for a number of years. What factors have contributed to immigration becoming the vexing issue of our time? And why has a political solution been so elusive?

TCC member Muzaffar Chishti, a lawyer, is a Senior Fellow at the Migration Policy Institute (MPI), and directs MPI’s office at New York University School of Law. He has authored or coauthored a number of publications on US immigration admission policies, immigration enforcement, and the rights of immigrants. He has testified extensively on immigration policy issues before Congress and is frequently quoted in the media. Muzaffar Chishti is a recipient of the New York State Governor’s Award for Outstanding Asian Americans, and the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.
