"Immigration will be a key issue in 2025. Everyone agrees that we have a broken immigration system, but people disagree on the solutions. Congress is paralyzed. Presidents try executive actions but are sued. Federal courts seem to be the final arbiters of immigration policy these days. In the meantime, employers face labor shortages. The demographics of an aging population and declining birth rates are indisputable. More people worldwide are fleeing the breakdown of civil society, climate change, and even persecution than ever before. Over 10 million people lack immigration status in the United States. More than half of them have been residing and working in our communities for over 15 years. And our immigration courts face a backlog of over 3 million deportation cases. Join Cornell Law professor Stephen Yale-Loehr and a panel of experts from the Cornell Law School immigration law and policy research program to learn what immigration laws and policies might change, both in the lame duck session after the election and in 2025.
