ProPublica: The New Immigration

A new ProPublica series (The new Immigration:  How Recent Arrivals at the Border Have Changed the Country and Its Attitudes) aims to “explain the real challenges — as opposed to the ones being made up to scare you — posed by immigration trends at the Southwest border over the past decade.”  

In the opening article, Mica Rosenberg and Jeff Ernsthausen set the stage: They cover the United States’ need for workers, the complex legal limbo in which many immigrants live, the changing demographics of newcomers and the “hardening in public opinion.”  

More on immigration from ProPublica can be found here and here.
