We are pleased to announce the second in our civil discourse series called SymBozium, presented by the Bozeman Public Library.
The Economics of Immigration: Boon or Bust?
April 2, 2019
7:00 pm
The Emerson’s Crawford Theater
DACA, migrant caravans, undocumented workers, merit-based immigration. Few issues are more divisive in the United States today than immigration reform. Even though key businesses and industries – some right here in Montana – depend upon an immigrant workforce to be successful, opponents of immigration hold that our economy suffers when legal and non-legal individuals make the United States their home. How does one cut through all the partisan “noise” to understand how immigration impacts our economic well-being? Is immigration a boon or a bust for our economy? What are the myths, and what are the facts? Listen to and consider various viewpoints and offer your questions to our panelists in a follow-up question and answer session.
Moderated by:
Nancy Chen, Women’s leadership coach & founder, Power to the Queen!
With guest speakers:
George J. Borjas, Professor of Economics & Social Policy, Harvard Kennedy School
Andrew Greenfield, Immigration attorney & Managing Partner, Fragomen Worldwide
Bridget Kevane, Professor of Latin American & Latino Studies, MSU
