SUMMARY:"Borderland & Immigration: Perspectives and Policy Considerations" with TJ Davis
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION \nArizona’s position on the US southern border has placed it at ground zero in an ongoing immigration crisis that continues to incite often ugly arguments. The arguments are not new in character or content. The size and persistence of the surge at the border is new\, however. The US Border Patrol reported more than two million encounters along the US/Mexico border in fiscal 2023. The surge and the humanitarian crisis it has created\, along with an estimated 11 million unauthorized immigrants in the United States\, demand popular attention. This presentation briefly reviews the immigration crisis and its impact and invites reflection on how we\, the people\, in Arizona might best think about border and immigration policy. \nThis program is cohosted by the Tucson Desert Art Museum. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS \nThomas J. Davis is an historian\, lawyer\, and professor emeritus at Arizona State University\, Tempe\, where he taught U.S. constitutional and legal history. Dr. Davis also taught as a visiting professor of law at the ASU College of Law.
