State Immigration Policy Resource
"Although the federal government regulates immigration, states have wide latitude to develop policies to complement or counter federal laws. This has led to a patchwork of policy contexts that shape the lives of legal and unauthorized immigrants and their children across the country.
To illustrate this variation, our State Immigration Policy Resource compiles state-level immigrant and immigration policies in three major areas: enforcement, public benefit access, and integration."
