SoAn Culture & Society Discussion Series: Crossing the Line: What's New and What's Not About the Current "Immigration Crisis" at the US-Mexico Border

Monthly “encounters” with migrants at the US-Mexico border remain near record levels, but what does that mean? Who is crossing the US southern border and why? What’s happening to those who are not permitted to cross? What are the impacts of US immigration policy both here and abroad? Professor Monica DeHart will address how shifting politics in Latin America are impacting the demographics and scale of the current immigration crisis while also questioning the ethics and efficacy of US government responses.
