Young People and the Immigration Issue

View Podcast Archive Summary Polls show that immigration is a top concern for voters going into the midterm elections. Young people comprise a large percentage of those who will going to the polls – how interested are they in immigration? In this week’s Center for Immigration Studies podcast, Parsing Immigration Policy, a former Center intern and third year law student, Jackson Koonce, talks about how he became interested in the immigration, why it is an important issue, and what he learned about the topic while interning at the Center. Koonce grew up in San Diego, and now attends law school in a border state. In both cases, immigration – both legal and illegal – are common topics of conversation and news stories. When looking for a summer internship, he prioritized think tanks and immigration. During his time at Center, he worked with analysts covering many different immigration issues, whose beliefs fall across the political spectrum.
