Beyond Politics: A Conversation on Immigration

Mary Meg McCarthy, Executive Director of the National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC), one of the nation’s preeminent immigrant and human rights advocacy organizations, and Betsy Brill, President of Strategic Philanthropy, Ltd., discuss immigration and the migrant crisis which has been a touchstone of the U.S. political debate for decades. The conversation explores:

• The opportunities and challenges facing the U.S and the growing number of migrants seeking refuge in the U.S.
• Why it is important to remember that this is a human issue, not a political issue
• How climate change, poverty, and political unrest around the world are the significant causal factors for migration
