A new bi-partisan approach to immigration reform is emerging in the U.S. Senate, as President Obama has signaled that this is one of his top priorities for his second term. But with a weak global economy and continued stagnation in the job market, immigrants have become the target of scrutiny in the United States and around the world. Brookings experts are examining the demographic, economic, social and political impact of immigration.

"[The Boston bombings] complicate an already complicated upcoming debate. Some people will use it as an issue to try to derail [immigration reform]. The bottom line is that there are a lot of people that want to do harm to this country. Some of them come from abroad, some of them live here and some of them have lived here for a while. It may or may not impede immigration reform, but at this point I think it’s important to be very careful not to conflate the issues."
