Immigration is as politically charged as ever, and the U.S. immigration system is failing to address contemporary challenges. Yet, prospects for meaningful legislative reform are dim. Join UVA's Karsh Institute of Democracy and the School of Law’s Immigration Law Program for a panel conversation exploring the current challenges to the U.S. immigration system and what can be done in lieu of legislation to help migrants and the communities that receive them.
*Lunch will be served after the session. There is no parking at Bond House. A shuttle will be available, leaving from the UVA School of Law at 11:30 AM. Or there is paid parking within walking distance at the Oakhurst Inn and Central Grounds Garage.
