Immigration: CRS Points of Contact

Updated September 6, 2018 (R45309)

The following table provides CRS points of contact on policy and legal issues related to immigration. The table begins by identifying points of contact for legal questions related to immigration. It then lists a number of policy issues alphabetically and provides the name and contact information of the CRS analyst who is the subject matter expert and point of contact for each policy issue. For a list of current CRS general distribution products on immigration, see the Homeland Security and Immigration "Issue Areas" tab at CRS.gov.
