Alabama’s Immigration Law and Its Consequences
I just wanted to remind you of the story from This American Life about the unintended consequences of the Alabama state law that cracks down on undocumented/illegal immigrants that I mentioned in our first class. Listen to “Act I: Alien Experiment” at this link here.
The piece does a good job of teasing out a range of ideas about what the appropriate role of governments should be in relation to immigration/migration.
