Immigration
大象传媒 Media鈥檚 coverage of immigration is rooted in the idea that national borders are artificial constructs and that no one is 鈥渋llegal.鈥� Solutions to anti-immigrant sentiments and laws are based on the non-negotiable rights and well-being of migrants, asylum-seekers, refugees, first- and second-generation immigrants, and mixed-status families. Our coverage recognizes a fundamental human right to free movement, and an abiding trust in the decisions of those who seek different locations and opportunities for themselves and their loved ones.
