Thank you so much for compiling this list!! So essential!
I'd like to humbly recommend my Substack as well, https://sarahtowle.substack.com/, where we are shining the light on strategies for resistance in text and podcast formats at Tales of Humanity and From the Borderlands, respectively. The project celebrates the groups and individuals on the frontlines, who show us, every day, that there is a better way -- that we can welcome newcomers with dignity and that we'd be a much better people for it.
It is a continuation of my book, just released in a 2nd edition, CROSSING THE LINE: FINDING AMERICA IN THE BORDERLANDS, which harnesses the transformative power of storytelling to explain how the US immigration system evolved under both political parties... then devolved into the weapon driving democracy into crisis when its institutionalized cruelty and DHS paramilitary forces were bequeathed to a madman.
Considered "a powerful exposé of the human costs of America's immigration policies" by Kirkus Reviews, and "an essential primer text to the immigration issue" by readers, CROSSING THE LINE was also reviewed by several of the folks you've mentioned above:
@Austin Kocher has called it a manual for the movement for just migration, stating, "Every concerned citizen should read this book."
@John Washington writes, "I challenge any reader to pick this book up and not be shaken, disturbed, and ultimately committed to a better and more just world. Towle beautifully renders moments of humanity in a fundamentally inhumane system."
I hope you'll include it in your list! And thanks for the new recommendations -- I'm subscribing to one and all now!
A humble suggestion: my newsletter, which focuses on UK immigration and asylum. The Guardian called it 'illuminating' and it has been recommended by Adam Bienkov and Peter Geoghegan.
Actually, yes! Some of the folks listed here would probably not consider themselves pro-immigration, but the list certainly skews in that direction. Let me know if you have any suggestions for good substackers with more diverse views on immigration to add.
In the meantime, I had an idea for a post exploring the best anti-immigration arguments, though this would be more about older established writers outside of the platform.
Great list (and I have subscribed, and I am checking out your recommendations)!
May I humbly suggest my own publication for future consideration?

Absolutely, thanks for suggesting!

Thank you, Sarah, that sounds fascinating -- I'll make sure to check out your book! Added to the list.
So grateful that you're bringing us all together!

Thank you for suggesting, Nicola! Added.
Here are two more: Notes from the Beautiful Periphery (general) https://vjelpaso.substack.com/p/court-observations-the-aftermath (my publication in which perhaps every month to six weeks has a post on migration) and Eyes on Immigration Court re courts in NYC - https://eyesonimmigrationcourt.substack.com/
Thank you, this is great!
