8State Immigration Laws Database

Related Categories: Immigration Law, Research, Current Awareness

    In recent years, as the federal government has delayed and gridlocked over the issue of immigration reform, many state legislatures have sought to respond to immigration issues.  Now, the Migration Policy Institute has created a freely searchable database of state responses to immigration.  The database allows you to search across state legislation for the fifty state governments by selecting the type of legislation as well as subject of the legislation. 
 
If you are researching immigration law issues, the library also has an Immigration Law Research Guide to assist you with finding and using key resources.

From a humanitarian perspective, our fellow human beings, who migrate to support their families, continue to suffer at the hands of immigration policies that separate them from family members and drive them into remote parts of the American desert, sometimes to their deaths. This suffering should not continue.

Now is the time to address this pressing humanitarian issue which affects so many lives and undermines basic human dignity. Our society should no longer tolerate a status quo that perpetuates a permanent underclass of persons and benefits from their labor without offering them legal protections.
