The Migration and Human Rights Program at Cornell Law School advocates for executive action to provide immigration relief to long-term undocumented residents. The program is home to an immigration law and advocacy law clinic that focus on innovative work on behalf of undocumented and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) communities through the Path2Papers Project, including streamlining access to employment-based visas for youth with DACA Status, and on advocacy for detained immigrants and asylum seekers. The program also houses the Farmworker Legal Assistance Clinic, the State Policy and Advocacy Clinic, and the Fellows Program, which brings prominent immigration scholars, policymakers, and other public figures across the ideological spectrum to teach, conduct research, and engage with the public.
