The United States prides itself on being a nation of immigrants, but has never made it easy for the newly arrived. This course examines the policies, problems, and politics affecting immigration to the U.S. today. Topics include causes of immigration, immigration law and the undocumented, and patterns of assimilation. Much of the focus is on issues affecting Westchester County: housing, employment, day laborers, education, and access to social services. Also offered as LST 2190.
