In May and June 2020, BPC hosted six virtual roundtables—four in partnership with the Wisconsin Institute of Public Policy and Service and two with the Center for Houston’s Future—to further our understanding of how local community leaders viewed the immigration issue being debated nationally. On January 21, 2021, Theresa Cardinal Brown hosted a deep-dive conversation on our podcast, This Week in Immigration, to discuss the roundtables and respective report with BPC’s partners in these events, Laura Goldberg, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives and Communications at the Center for Houston’s Future, and Julie Bunczak, Program Manager at the Wisconsin Institute for Public Policy and Service. Also participating was Mark Hugo Lopez, Director of Global Migration and Demography Research at Pew Research Center.
