Immigration and border policies: Anna Maria Mayda examines the economic consequences of President Trump’s executive orders

We are now into President Trump’s second term and are beginning to see the effects of his executive orders, as well as consider their long-term implications. Professor Anna Maria Mayda, director of the Institute for the Study of International Migration at SFS, explores these developments in her co-authored chapter, “Immigration and border policies,” featured in the new book The Economic Consequences of the Second Trump Administration: A Preliminary Assessment.

In a recent interview with the SFS, Mayda discusses her chapter’s findings, their broader political significance and how the Master of Arts in International Migration and Refugees program equips students to engage with these complex issues. Read the interview here.
