The Future of Immigration in the 2024 Elections

Immigration in the United States has always been a heavily politicized topic, especially around election cycles. Although public opinion toward immigrants has remained favorable during the last decade, immigration and the “crisis” at the U.S.-Mexico border have been at the center of the public debate recently.

Ahead of the 2024 presidential elections, this conference will bring together leading experts to examine the current political landscape around immigration. They will explore how shifting policies have reshaped migration to the U.S.-Mexico border and discuss prospects for immigration reform.

This event is part of the Baker Insitute Migration Initiative — a collaboration between the Center for Health and Biosciences, Center for the U.S. and Mexico, and Edward P. Djerejian Center for the Middle East — that focuses on the economic, legal, health, and social and environmental aspects of migration.
