CRMJ 333 - Immigration and Security

Credit Hours: 3

Immigration is defined as crossing the border of 1 of the world’s 220 nation states with the intent to stay. Technological improvements in the last 50 years have given rise to massive outflows of people from sending countries and have tested the capacity of receiving countries to absorb immigrants. This course examines security issues such as terrorism that might stem from countries’ inability to control borders and the separate issue of societal security. Special emphasis is given to Mexican immigration to the US.
