MPI's major analytic emphases during the award period include the implementation of legalization executive actions and their potential impacts on the U.S. unauthorized immigrant population; humanitarian protection systems and the migration of children and families from Central America; and assessing the changing assumptions underlying any future U.S. immigration reform legislation.
