Crisis at the Border Teach-Out

Dr. Ann Lin is an Associate Professor of Public Policy at the Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan. Dr. Lin studies policy implementation: the provisions that make policy easy or difficult to implement, the beliefs and behavior of people who implement policies, and the reactions of those who are targeted by policy. She is currently studying potential immigration policies, such as guestworker programs and legalization, and the political beliefs of American immigrants, with a specific focus on Arab Americans. Central to understanding this issue is knowing how the process for seeking asylum works. In the next segment, Dr. Linn will give a high-level overview of this process, and who is impacted.
