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.
