Rebalancing the Narrative: Higher Education, Border Security, and Immigration
La Noue, George R.
National Association of Scholars
Policies regarding immigration are complex. One of the unfortunate consequences of the near uniformity of opinion in higher education about legal and illegal immigration issues are that they are almost never debated on campuses. This report describes some of the various dimensions of immigration policy and suggests topics for debate, so that students will be better informed to make their citizen decisions. A nation that does not openly and thoroughly debate the contentious policy problems it faces will be subject to demagoguery from both the right and the left. This report outlines the many actions taken by higher education administrators, faculty, and students to oppose any restriction on immigration, legal or illegal. It is not that there is unanimity on the campuses, but those who understand the complexity of immigration policy and the potential consequences of unlimited immigration have remained largely silent. This report concludes with a discussion of immigration issues that should be debated on campuses.
