FAIR’s Immigration Glossary

Lately I’ve been scanning online immigration glossaries. I’m in the midst of drafting my own glossary for students, and I want to make sure that my work is comprehensive.

Along the way, I found this stunning chart on the FAIR website.

Some of these differences are ones that I already address in class — chain migration vs. family-based migration, for example. Others are new to me — immigration ban vs. immigration freeze. Either way you slice it, there’s a lot of great teaching material in this singular chart of dos and dont’s.
