America's Immigration Dilemma

GENINT 721.745

Osher (50+). In this course, we take a look at the history of immigration as well as recent developments.

About this course:

Immigration is one of the most fraught topics in American politics today, and polls show 2024 is shaping up to be an immigration election. Despite the United States' long history of acceptance and openness to foreign immigration, concerns have spiked since 2000 regarding the number and ethnicity of those being admitted. Throughout U.S. history, immigration policy has evolved and reacted to often dramatic shifts in American society. In this course, we discuss the immigration laws in the 1920s, Lyndon Johnson’s landmark Immigration Act of 1965, as well as recent developments in problems and policies along the country's borders. This course will be recorded. Students will have access to videos for the duration of the course.
