Sun 1st Breakout #1: IMMIGRATION AND THE SOUTHERN BORDER
By: Carrie Lightner
What has often been missing in our national conversations about immigration is fair-minded and in-depth reporting from the front. Now we have that in JONATHAN BLITZER’s brilliant new book, Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here: The United States, Central America, and The Making of a Crisis, a moving and comprehensive look at the humanitarian crisis at the southern border told through portraits of some of the migrants who risk everything to come here and the policymakers who determine their fate. Blitzer, a staff writer at The New Yorker, will talk about our country’s tragically convoluted immigration policy and about the deep reporting that informs his book.
TBD
