Controversies in Philanthropy: FSSO 119-100 Fall 2021

Immigration



Nonprofits dedicated to immigration often have four areas of focus: changing legislation, employment, education, and essential services. Controversies in immigration arise when considering what forms of immigration are considered illegal, and the perceived harms of allowing many immigrants into the U.S. without restriction, vs the severe dangers that many restrictions impose on such immigrants, especially potential refugees.
