    In recent years, the U.S. has outsourced many of its immigration enforcement functions to state and local governments, private actors, and foreign governments. At the same time, the government has constructed a number of invisible barriers that block access to opportunities to immigrate legally under existing law. The barriers have been built through White House control of administrative agencies, particularly as agencies and actors charged with protecting immigrants and workers have been repurposed to bolster enforcement. This panel will assess these developments and discuss their impact on the rights of migrants, U.S. citizens, and other U.S. residents.
