Borderless Futures (U.S. Immigration & AI) Printable Handout

A Civic Brief from Future in Common

Part of the series: “The United States of AI: An Ethical Policy Platform for American Workers”

What This Brief Covers:

What does immigration look like in the age of AI?

This short, powerful handout introduces the urgent intersections between emerging AI systems and U.S. immigration policy. From border surveillance to biased data, from asylum automation to deepfake disinformation—this resource helps readers understand what’s changing, what’s at stake, and what kind of future we can still shape.

Rooted in a people-first approach, it offers a hopeful path forward grounded in rights, dignity, and democratic values.

What You’ll Learn:

• How AI is already shaping immigration enforcement, border tech, and decision-making
• Why algorithmic bias and predictive tools threaten due process and human rights
• What a just, worker-centered, future-ready immigration approach could look like
• How to engage elected leaders and spark public conversation

Who It’s For:

• Immigrant rights advocates and organizers
• Educators and civic leaders
• Local, state, and national policymakers
• Voters and community members seeking to understand the link between tech and justice

Why It Matters:

AI systems are being deployed in deeply human spaces—often without transparency or consent. If we don’t act now, we risk locking in a future where belonging is determined by machines, not people. This resource offers tools for action, clarity, and collective power.
