Resources for Immigrant Students (documented, undocumented, Dreamers)

Journalistic articles

The following news outlets are well respected, well researched, and will generally either strive for balance and/or show some bias toward being sympathetic to immigrants. 

New York Times news articles on immigration 

Washington Post news articles on immigration 

The Nation magazine articles on immigration 

Mother Jones magazine articles on immigration 


People who want to defend the well-being and rights of immigrants may also find it useful to understand what anti-immigrant media are telling their readers, in order to know what that side is thinking.

For these purposes, there are conservative news sources such as the National Review (more traditional in tone) and Fox News (more sensationalistic) which are considered mainstream conservative. There are also more extreme right-wing media such as Breitbart, which has a widespread reputation for inventing false reports and spreading rumors.
