CrisisIbility®, Civic Identity, & Immigration
With this past weekend marking World Refugee Day, this episode of the podcast features the president of the Migration Policy Institute, Andrew Selee. This is a a timely discussion of immigration and refugees and the impact that immigration can have on communities in terms of economics and innovation. Also joining us again this week is special guest host, Johanna Mendelson Forman, a Distinguished Fellow at the Stimson Center.
“We’ve failed on this many times, but in the end we’ve succeeded. We’ve succeeded in expanding these boundaries so that anyone who comes can be truly American. And that’s something we should prize. With all the errors of the past…in the end we have that kind of identity where your being an American is not based on where you were born…many countries can’t say that.”
