Description

More than most issues today, debates over immigration are caught up in our image of ourselves as a nation and a people and are influenced by powerful symbols such as 'the border' that can be manipulated and misunderstood by all parties to the debate. Dr. Peter Skerry, professor of political science at Boston College, will address the conflicting interests at stake in immigration policy and the need to reconsider some basic aspects of this complex and fraught issue.
