Webinar: Migration Realities in the US: Looking at Causes, Trends, and Solutions

On September 5 at 1 PM EST, the Center for Migration Studies of New York (CMS) will host a webinar and discussion on the migration landscape in the United States, with particular focus on changes in recent years. A panel of experts will address migration from select sociological, demographic, resettlement, legal and policy perspectives. They will speak to the (root) causes of migration, the issues and opportunities raised by "border" narratives and politics, the successes and challenges of refugee protection and resettlement, recent demographic changes and trends in migration, and the legal and policy realities, shortcomings, and potential, constructive ways forward.

This webinar is meant for all audiences and, also, in preparation for the September 12, 2024, Immigrant Integration Convening at St. John's University.

Speakers include:

• Bill O’Keefe, Executive Vice President for Mission and Mobilization, Catholic Relief Services
