SUMMARY:Marcela Escobari and Charles Lane
DESCRIPTION:Marcela Escobari and Charles Lane are two of the nation’s leading experts in immigration\, migration and asylum policy. The pair will present in tandem\, building on the Chautauqua Lecture Series theme of “The 2026 Election: What’s at Stake?\,” with an examination of our national dialogue on immigration as the election approaches — and\, ultimately\, the impact of immigration politics and policies on real people. The program opens a five-part weeklong series presented at Chautauqua in partnership with the American Enterprise Institute and Brookings Institution\, each program featuring experts from both organizations.  \nMarcela Escobari is a senior fellow in the Global Economy and Development program at Brookings. She has been twice confirmed by the U.S. Senate under Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden\, and most recently served in the White House National Security Council as special assistant to the president and coordinator for the Los Angeles Declaration on Migration and Protection. In this role\, Escobari led efforts to promote safe\, orderly and humane migration and advance a collaborative\, regional response to the displacement of more than 8 million people across Latin America and the Caribbean. This regional response contributed to a more-than-70% decrease in irregular migration at the U.S. border in 2024\, helping stabilize and integrate over 4.5 million migrants and refugees within Latin America.  \nFrom 2021 to 2024\, Escobari was assistant administrator for the U.S. Agency for International Development’s Bureau for Latin America and the Caribbean\, a position she also held from 2016 to 2017 as the first woman to serve in this role. Previously\, as a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution\, she launched the Workforce of the Future initiative focused on identifying policies to restore opportunity and enable inclusive growth in U.S. cities and states in the wake of globalization and COVID-19.   \nBefore joining government\, Escobari was the executive director of Harvard’s Center for International Development. Her honors include Freedom House’s 2024 Mark Palmer Prize for diplomats and civil servants whose work has advanced democracy and human rights.  \nCharles Lane is a nonresident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute\, where he focuses on American politics\, American culture\, and asylum policy. He also serves as a columnist for The Free Press. Before joining AEI\, Lane held several positions at The Washington Post\, where he was a staff writer covering the United States Supreme Court\, an editorial board member and columnist\, and the deputy opinion editor. He was previously the editor of The New Republic and the Berlin bureau chief\, the general editor\, and a San Salvador-based correspondent for Newsweek.  \nLane’s writing has appeared extensively in the popular press\, including in Foreign Affairs\, Foreign Policy\, City Journal\, National Affairs\, The Atlantic\, Los Angeles Times and The Wall Street Journal. He is also the author of Freedom’s Detective: The Secret Service\, the Ku Klux Klan and the Man Who Masterminded America’s First War on Terror; Stay of Execution: Saving the Death Penalty from Itself; and The Day Freedom Died: The Colfax Massacre\, the Supreme Court\, and the Betrayal of Reconstruction.  \nLane has a master’s degree in law from Yale University and a bachelor’s degree in social studies from Harvard University.
