ABSTRACT
In previous chapters, we learned how immigration policy is detrimental to immigrant communities as well as to citizens. We have seen that the inability of many migrants to remain legally in the United States is cause for social concern, yet the policies that have been implemented have done little to alleviate challenges associated with undocumented migration. Why haven’t policy makers come up with better solutions to the current crisis? A discussion of the immigration industrial complex will help address this key question.
