M.P.A. Policy Workshops Taught by CRCW Associates

Fall 2009

591d: Policy Workshop: Immigration Reform in the U.S.

Marta Tienda is leading a workshop in the fall 2009 semester that focuses on Immigration Reform. Given the timeliness of this topic in the national policy debate, this workshop will most likely prepare a report for use by a Washington, DC, based advocacy organization. Prof. Tienda has significant contacts among such groups, and she has previously led a Policy Workshop and a Policy Taskforce for WWS Undergrads. The client for the 2005 workshop was the Council of the Americas' North American Business Committee, and the report was entitled, 'Effective Worksite Enforcement: A Key Requirement to Reduce Undocumented Immigration.'
