Matt Brooks (Florida State) quoted in NPR piece on immigration trends
Rural Sociological Society member Dr. Matt Brooks was recently quoted in a National Public Radio piece titled “’We need to get out of here’: Trump’s immigration crackdown is quietly reshaping where immigrants live in America.” Brooks is a demographer and assistant professor at Florida State University. He spoke about population flows and migration trends, highlighting how many immigrants initially settle in big cities but then move on to seek jobs in agriculture or manufacturing in the South or the Midwest. Now, several are moving a third time, of in response to immigration crackdowns.
