Immigration Legislation: Then and Now

Join us for a timely panel discussion examining key moments in U.S. immigration legislation—past and present—and how history continues to shape today’s policies and debates. The conversation will explore how Jewish immigration and exclusion fit into the broader story of American immigration restrictions.  Panelists include Katherine Benton-Cohen, PhD, Professor of History, Georgetown University, Ted Gong, Executive Director of the 1882 Foundation, and Yael Schacher, Director for the Americas and Europe at Refugees International. Moderated by Arno Rosenfeld, reporter for The Forward. This event is offered both in person and virtually.
