This web site intends to provide useful information for those interested in United States immigration and immigration policy. It will attempt to assess the on-going controversy that exists between those that support open immigration and those who advocate restricted borders.

Creator's Bio

Hi, my name is Daniel Larrea and I am freshman at Duke University. Currently I have not decided on a major, but I am interested in political science, public policy, and Spanish. I grew up in Houston, TX where I lived with my mom, dad, and sister. My main hobby is ice hockey. I started playing when I was 12 years old and I am now a member of the club hockey team here at Duke. I am big fan of the Houston Rockets, Texans, and Astros, and I also enjoy watching a variety of other professional and collegiate sports. This semester I have researched the effects immigration has had on the United States and have created this web site to display what I have learned. Feel free to send any comments or feedback to my e-mail address, which can be found by clicking on the link below.
