In a recent article titled "The Hispanic Challenge" in Foreign Policy magazine Harvard University Professor Samuel Huntington argues that "the single most immediate and most serious challenge to America's traditional identity comes from the immense and continuing immigration from Latin America, especially from Mexico…The experience and lessons of past immigration have little relevance to understanding its dynamics and consequences." In light of these claims, this roundtable discussion will seek to address the state of current research on Latino immigration to the United States and its dynamics and consequences for U.S. politics, economic growth, and culture.
