​A new joint report will be released that examines state health policies towards undocumented immigrants and ranks states with the most (and the fewest) public policies and laws that foster the health and welfare of undocumented immigrants. In this seminar, co-authors Steven P. Wallace, associate director of the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, Michael Rodriguez, director of the Blum Center on Poverty and Health in Latin America, and Maria-Elena Young, a Center graduate student researcher, discuss the report's findings.
