Dan Berger, partner at Green and Spiegel and a nonresident academic fellow at Cornell Law School, co-authored an opinion piece in The Hill examining the Trump administration’s sweeping immigration restrictions and their historical parallels to the Immigration Act of 1924. Drawing on immigration history, economic research, and modern policy analysis, Berger argues that prioritizing country of origin over skills, family ties, and economic need risks repeating past mistakes that weakened innovation and economic growth.
