-€œTEAR DOWN THOSE WALLS!-€

The truth about refugees and undocumented immigrants

By Bob Barsky, Professor of French and Italian, English and Jewish Studies

Election season and the crisis in Europe are combining to bring out the most outlandish rhetoric about migrants, most notably undocumented immigrants and refugees. Drawing from research projects that have underwritten three books about refugees and -€œillegal-€ immigrants, Professor Barsky will shed some light upon the issues facing migrants, and the legal obligations that countries have to accommodate them in their quest for employment opportunities, safe haven, or a new life beyond the borders of their home country.
