In "States Take the Immigration Initiative," an op-ed piece written for Americas Society/Council of the Americas, Professor Cristina Rodríguez says states can play a productive and necessary role in immigration regulation given the importance of federal leadership on the issue. On March 10, Rodríguez delivered the Thomas Lecture at Yale Law School. Her lecture entitled “Burden Sharing in an Age of Migration" explored how political, legal and cultural burdens should be distributed in order to better manage changes brought on by immigration.
