Summary:	"Immigration Matters brings together key movement leaders and academics in the immigration space to share cutting-edge approaches to the question of America's borders--who should be allowed in, and who, if anyone, should be kept out. The book delves into topics including new ways to frame immigration issues, fresh thinking on key aspects of policy, challenges of integration, workers' rights, family re-unification, legalization, paths to citizenship, and humane enforcement. This collection makes accessible an immigration policy that both remediates the harm done to immigrant workers and communities under Trump and advances a bold new vision for the future"--
