Tracks: Debate

Silicon Valley and agribusiness claim we need even more immigrants. The administration wants fewer. What are the practical limits and risks to opening borders or closing them? How do we choose among being merciful to refugees, uniting families, and importing brains and entrepreneurs and cheap labor? Why should the U.S. overload its capacity to offset global instability. Or are we not even close to capacity? Debate Room is not a heated debate but a fast-paced moderated discussion where everyone gets to be heard, and the most interesting speaker gets a prize!
