U.S. Immigration: Understanding the Present, Charting the Future

April 29, 2025  |   12:00-1:15 p.m.  |  The Rayburn House Office Building

Immigration shapes the national and local economies in profound ways. Across industries, immigrants contribute to innovation and productivity, generating new opportunities for growth and solidifying American intellectual and technological leadership. Yet, any immigration policy may have dramatically different impacts across education groups, occupations, and regions, prompting important discussions about the distribution of its benefits and costs. Further, while cultural diversity can enrich communities and encourage greater understanding across people, assimilation poses the issue of balance between preserving unique heritages and embracing shared identities.

Join the Center for Business and Public Policy for an evidence-based discussion on the challenges and opportunities that immigration engenders on Tuesday, April 29, 2024, at The Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, D.C., for the next installment of the Georgetown on the Hill conversation series.
