"The Immigration Task Force report is the single best entrance document to these complex issues that I have been able to put in front of my graduate students. We are all buried with reports that we tend not to read, but this is one worth reading and using to teach if you are in an academic setting." --> To supplement your syllabus with this publication, click here to access the CFR Academic Module.
