M. Jones-Correa.

In the 2000s immigration to the United States became national, touching almost every state and county.    This course traces the dispersal of immigration in the U.S., to rural counties in the South and Midwest, to new gateway cities like Seattle and Boston, to suburbs outside places like Washington D.C..    With hands-on use of demographic and survey data, students will explore the ways these settlement patterns raise new issues for immigrant integration, distinct political responses at the local, state and national levels, and proposals for new immigration policies.
