This section from GCIR's Investing in Our Communities: Strategies for Immigrant Integration provides a quick overview of U.S. immigration law and policy from the 1700s to May 2006.
Description: Despite rising to the top of the domestic policy agenda last year, comprehensive immigration reform fell victim to the politics of mid-term congressional elections. This update provides perspectives from philanthropists in the field who provide their predictions on future federal legislation affecting immigrants and refugees.
