T. Alexander Aleinikoff, JD Biography
- Title:
- Professor at the Milano School of International Affairs, Management, and Urban Policy at the New School
- Position:
- Not Clearly Pro or Con to the question "Should the Government Allow a Path to Citizenship for Undocumented Immigrants?"
- Reasoning:
-
“Comprehensive immigration reform should seek to accomplish two major goals: providing some form of legal status to undocumented workers who meet certain conditions (knowledge of English, payment of taxes, absence of a criminal record) and ensuring that we don’t immediately see the build-up of a new undocumented population — due to continued lax enforcement and the perceived likelihood of a future legalization program.”
