Other fellows will focus on American immigration issues, such as Gina Acosta from The Washington Post, who will study the fiscal results of U.S. immigration policy, and Claudio Sanchez, national education correspondent for National Public Radio, who will investigate why educational policies fail to equip both legal and illegal Mexican immigrant children with the skills needed for success.
