Migration has been a critical issue historically in the United States going back to the nineteenth century. Currently, it is a major factor in polarization throughout the country. Debate is intense. This webinar will look specifically at the condition of Cubans and Haitians in Mexico and their efforts to achieve physical, legal, and socioeconomic security, as well as entry into the US. The speakers have decades of experience in dealing not only with the issues, but also the individuals involved in Mexico and in the US. This webinar will analyze the current situation and possible developments.
