Date

Duration
24 months
Description
The United States immigration system has long been criticized for failing to meet the country’s changing economic demands and the needs of millions of immigrants who already contribute to the economy. Under a divided Congress, policymakers will need to access innovative, cross-ideological policy ideas to help untangle the current immigration system and build something more resilient, fair, and better for the country. Since 2016, the Cato Institute’s Project on Immigration Reform has used rigorous, data-driven research to develop policy principles and ideas capable of uniting conservatives, liberals, and libertarians. Through research and policy prescription, commentary in leading media outlets, and engagement of policymakers and thought leaders across the ideological spectrum, the program aims to shift the public and policy debate toward a consensus in support of sound immigration policies.

Description
Under the current United States immigration system, many prospective immigrants find themselves waiting decades to secure a green card. Approximately 829,000 cases remain pending in overwhelmed immigration courts, and wait times for visa processing can exceed twenty years, depending on an applicant’s country of origin. Immigrants who enter the country illegally or overstay their visas generally do not have any legal options for residency. The Cato Institute’s Project on Immigration Reform was launched in 2016 for developing evidence-based ideas for reforming U.S. immigration laws. The institute’s ideology and commitment to rigorous, data-driven research has made it a trusted clearinghouse that is able to unite conservatives, liberals, and libertarians on broad principles that can shape concrete policy initiatives. With Corporation support, the Cato Institute will produce cutting-edge data and research that debunks anti-immigrant myths and bolsters the case for innovating the country’s immigration system. The institute will work with leading scholars and immigration advocates to develop policy solutions that are actionable and able to draw bipartisan support.
