Presented as part of the Bacon Immigration Law and Policy Program’s Speaker Series for Spring 2024, a panel of experts discussed U.S. immigration law and policy and how to advance a system that works for employers, workers, and the U.S. economy. Participants were available to attend in person or via Zoom.
