Common Ground: The Intersection between Immigration Policy and Food Security

Research output: Contribution to conferencePresentation

Abstract

Politicians who argue in favor of mass deportation of undocumented immigrants or seek the mythical impermeable border often fail to adequately consider the impact of radical immigration reform on Food Security. Deportation of farm workers could inadvertently “deport” many of our crops. Shifting agriculture abroad would have economic consequences and reduce food security for all Americans. Focusing on Food Security presents an opportunity to bridge political gaps and found common ground on immigration reform, human rights, and sustainability in modern industrial agriculture.
