Breaking News Consumer's Handbook: Migration Edition (At Home)

On the Media | Jul 29, 2016

At their respective conventions, the Democrats and Republicans presented wildly different narratives about immigrants and immigration in the United States. But the coverage this fall will almost certainly be heavy on politics and light on accuracy and complexity. Princeton professor Doug Massey helps us navigate the pontificating, bombast, and straight up falsities surrounding immigration in America for Part Two of our Breaking News Consumer’s Handbook: Migration Edition.
