We Need to Talk About Immigration: Fact vs Fear In-Person

Immigration remains one of the most polarizing issues in the U.S., but how much of the debate is driven by facts—and how much by fear? In this We Need To Talk discussion, experts will break down the realities of immigration policy, debunk common myths, and explore how rhetoric shapes public perception and policy decisions.

Host: Brittani Sterling, Social Sciences & Interdisciplinary Studies Librarian, UNLV Libraries
