Timeline: U.S. Intervention and Modern Migration in the Americas

Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees has released the second in a series of timelines to be shared over the next year, "U.S. Intervention and Modern Migration in the Americas." This timeline delves into the history of why so many people in the Americas 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. The first installment, Timeline: Citizenship in the United States, 1781 – Present,  focuses 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.
