On June 26, 2019, the Migration Policy Institute hosted a panel to discuss the book and the lessons it contains. The author was joined by other veterans of the debate that led to the passage of the Immigration Reform and Control Act. They discussed the elements that led to passage of the bill, both personal and political, the intended and unintended consequences of the legislation, and what lessons of that time might be applied to today’s immigration reform debate.
Following is a video of the MPI event.
