GCIR's Im/Migration Timeline: U.S. Intervention & Modern Migration in the Americas

Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees (GCIR) is releasing a new timeline: U.S. Intervention and Modern Migration in the Americas, which delves into the history of why so many people in the Americas have made the perilous migration journey to the United States, especially in recent years to allow for a nuanced analysis and deeper understanding of the migration flows and patterns we see today. 

U.S. Intervention and Modern Migration in the Americas is the second installment of GCIR’s Im/Migration timeline project. We invite you to explore the first installment, Timeline: Citizenship in the United States, 1781 – Present, which focused on the question of "Who gets to be an American?" and how fights for U.S. citizenship rights have evolved for various groups of people over time.
