Arizona's SB 1070 has put immigration reform in the news in the US, but all over the world countries struggle with immigration policy. Americans generally recognize the importance of the role that immigration policy has played in the US historically, but have always been quick to demonize new arrivals. The formation of the EU has caused a backlash against immigrants in countries like France and Switzerland, but the borders remain relatively porous. What does good immigration policy look like? How does a country balance the positive impacts of an open immigration policy with the perceived disruptions?

There are several issues that we have not had a chance to discuss: tensions on the Korean Peninsula, the Arizona immigration law, the oil spill, global financial reform, and the list goes on. For our next meeting, come with whatever topic you are interested in, and be sure to have your World Cup final pick.
