Week 8, Nov. 14th: Immigration.

No topic has been a bigger political wedge-issue when it comes to Hispanics. Until 2013, Democrats had made big promises on reform and legalization and not delivered. Republicans had made harsh threats on enforcement, and fizzled out. Mitt Romney went way to the right on immigration in the Republican primaries; did he self-deport from the White House? We are in the midst of immigration reform legislation moving through Congress. By the time this Study Group happens, we may know whether it’s succeeded or failed. What does the success or failure of this legislation mean for Republicans and for Hispanics going forward?
