On behalf of the Council on Foreign Relations
(CFR), I invite you to participate in the first session of the Fall 2013
CFR Academic Conference Call series on Wednesday, September 11, from
9:00 to 10:00 AM in Wyatt 326. Edward Alden,
CFR's Bernard L. Schwartz senior fellow, will discuss U.S. immigration
reform.
Mr. Alden is coauthor of the recent CFR report
"Managing Illegal Immigration to the United States: How Effective Is
Enforcement?" Prior to joining CFR, he was the Washington bureau chief
for the "Financial Times." At CFR, Mr. Alden's
work focuses on immigration and visa policy, and U.S. trade and
international economic policy. He is the director of the CFR "Renewing
America" publication series and also served as the codirector of the
CFR-sponsored Independent Task Force on "U.S. Trade
and Investment Policy." Mr. Alden is the author of the book "The
Closing of the American Border: Terrorism, Immigration, and Security
Since 9/11," and frequently appears on television and radio as an
analyst on political and economic issues.
