Building Bridges on Immigration: A Report from Carnegie Corporation of New York
In this report, the author reviews the efforts of the Carnegie Corporation of New York to promote alliance-building on immigration, the history of this work, and opportunities for related work in the future. Among the initiatives discussed in this report are the research and organizing work of New American Economy, the “Bible, Badges, and Business” network of the National Immigration Forum, and the business mobilization efforts of the American Business Immigration Coalition. Carnegie also supports a number of bipartisan and conservative-leaning organizations that conduct research, polling, outreach, and advocacy based on the premise that immigration is a good thing for the U.S. economy and society. Among these organizations are the Bipartisan Policy Center, the Niskanen Center, and the Cato Institute. The author also appeals to philanthropy to invest in alliance building as an essential strategy toward shifting U.S. policy, politics, and culture in the direction of advancing and protecting the rights and opportunities of U.S. immigrants. The report concludes with a chronology dating back to 1965 of Carnegie’s work in promoting bipartisan solutions to the nation’s immigration challenges.
