The future of immigration in the U.S. was the subject of a community symposium in Lubbock, Texas, co-hosted by the Baker Institute Center for the United States and Mexico, Rational Middle Media, and the Thomas Jay Harris Institute for Hispanic and International Communication. The event also featured the screening of a short documentary film on immigration produced by Rational Middle Media.
