UALE Immigration and Globalization Working Group

A lot has happened since this blog was last in use.

The biggest happening was probably the passage of Arizona's new immigration enforcement law, SB 1070, and then U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton's overturning of most of the law yesterday. The public discourse around immigration has become increasingly polarized since our last post, in early 2008 -- and it has moved notably to the right. There was no Tea Party at the time. The U.S. Census also provoked debate among immigrant groups themselves.

Meanwhile, our group has been renamed the Immigration and Globalization Working Group to highlight 2 things:

A broader perspective that encompasses issues of globalization and immigraiton on a worldwide basis, and
The ongoing, non-transient nature of our work (as opposed to a Task Force, that does a task and then disappears.)

So, stay tuned. Comment.
