The Politics of Immigration
Immigration policy is a hot topic with the next presidential election fast approaching, and the various candidates' stance on it could well make or break a nomination for them.
The symposium, "The Politics of Immigration” was held Friday, April 24, 2015 at the Old Brick Church and Community Center in Iowa City. It included panels of academics, politicians, political consultants and community members discussing different aspects of how the politics around the topic of immigration is playing out around the country. This event was part of the Run Up to the 2016 Caucus series of events, which will examine different political topics, such as election reform, campaign finance, political discourse, and others.
