Immigration Policy: The Central America Caravans

This course explains why the migrant “caravans” from Central America (El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras) traveling towards the U.S. border have generated intense interest and will address questions related to the phenomenon by looking at current law and policy, admissions trends, illegal immigration, and the very reasons why people are leaving their home countries.
