Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy, Immigration Policy Program
…The Economic Impacts of Immigrants in Arizona (PDF)
University of Arizona
The Udall Center Immigration Policy Program works at the intersection
of academic research and public policy to illuminate the complexities of
immigration policy in a global economy. The program’s primary activities
include research, publications, and educational forums. Focusing on how
to think, rather than what to think, about immigration’s various impacts,
the program seeks to provide credible data and sound analyses on the
economic, fiscal, and social impacts of immigration. The program thereby
seeks to foster better understanding of the tradeoffs involved in this
difficult issue.
Justice for Immigrants
In June 2004, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee on Migration and The Catholic Legal Immigration Network, INC. (CLINIC) Board of Directors resolved to make comprehensive immigration reform, with special emphasis on legalization, a major public policy priority within the Church. Many other national Catholic institutions have also made legalization a policy priority.
As part of the Church’s response, a diverse group of Catholic organizations with national networks have decided to join the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Justice for Immigrants: A Journey of Hope campaign designed to unite and mobilize a growing network of Catholic institutions, individuals, and other persons of good faith in support of a broad legalization program and comprehensive immigration reform. Its goal will be to maximize the Church’s influence on this issue, consistent with the immigration reform principles enunciated in the bishops’ pastoral letter.
