Join us for this event to introduce the U.S immigration system, what it means to be undocumented, and a look at historical and present realities facing immigrants in Boston. BC Law Professor Mary Holper will cover the pathways to entry provided by the U.S. immigration system and the factors that contribute to immigrants becoming undocumented. Her talk will be followed by two breakout sessions which will dive deeper into the historical and contemporary contexts of immigration. One session will be led by LSEHD Professor Andrés Castro Samayoa who will present the history of immigration policy, often racially exclusionary, in the United States. The other will be led by a representative from the Immigrant Support Alliance, who will share about their resettlement work in Boston and give insights into current immigration realities on a local level. Throughout the event, there will be opportunities to ask questions or submit questions anonymously.
