UW Law Professor Seeks Clarity For Immigration Debate With Economic Study

University of Wyoming

  

President Donald Trump campaigned on a promise to enact stricter immigration policies, and the topic of reform has remained a common thread under the new administration.

University of Wyoming College of Law Professor Noah Novogrodsky is leading a team of law students conducting an economic impact study of the contributions immigrant workers make to Teton County.

Novogrodsky told Wyoming Public Radio’s Maggie Mullen, the intent of the study is to uncover details that are otherwise lost in census data in order to encourage evidence-based debate and policy.

Maggie Mullen is Wyoming Public Radio's regional reporter with the Mountain West News Bureau. Her work has aired on NPR, Marketplace, Science Friday, and Here and Now. She was awarded a 2019 regional Edward R. Murrow Award for her story on the Black 14.
