Is immigration a driver of economic growth or a challenge to be solved? Immigration shapes labor markets, innovation, and competitiveness - but its benefits and costs are often viewed through different lenses. Does immigration help the U.S. economy overall? Does its impact vary across social and economic classes? How should businesses anticipate migration patterns driven by forces like climate change and economic inequality? These questions are central to understanding the intersection of immigration policy and business strategy in today’s globalized world.
Join the UCLA Anderson Center for Global Management (CGM) and the UCLA School of Law’s Lowell Milken Institute for Business Law and Policy (LMI) for a timely and thought-provoking conversation that examines immigration’s impact on global business and the economy, exploring its real world implications.
The discussion will feature Hiroshi Motomura, Susan Westerberg Prager Distinguished Professor of Law and Faculty Co-Director of the Center for Immigration Law and Policy. Drawing on his decades of influential scholarship, policy experience, and insights from his new book, Borders and Belonging: Toward a Fair Immigration Policy, Professor Motomura will broaden the conversation beyond enforcement debates to examine how immigration policy comports with human rights and people’s sense of belonging to a particular country. He will explore how immigration policy affects talent mobility, workforce stability, and global competitiveness, and what a “fair” immigration system might look like from a business perspective.
Open to UCLA Anderson and Law School students only
