Abstract
Immigration has been a major catalyst of population growth in the United States both directly and indirectly. Since the 1960s immigration into the U.S. has appreciably increased. This has resulted in policies and practices affecting immigrants at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels. The micro level focuses on immigrants and their local impacts. The mezzo level examines how organizations and societal structures interface with immigrants. The macro level unpacks the legal and policy developments resulting from immigration. Each of this symposium's contributors has addressed one or more of these three levels. Increased civil discourse about immigration is needed to uncover implications that these varying levels of response have for public servants, policy makers, and the populace.
