    mcconnell center — a new beginning for a continuing mission Foreword By James Ramsey President, University of Louisville As the President of the University of Louisville, I am proud to contribute this Foreword. The McConnell Center has had a tremendously successful first fifteen years, and with the Center’s move into its new headquarters in Ekstrom Library, it really is an appropriate time for a word on moving forward. Quite simply, the McConnell Center is one of the most exciting programs on campus. It enriches all of our lives through the students it helps us recruit and its programs and publications that enlighten and entertain. With its new teaching and learning spaces, the Center is already helping the University move forward with richer partnerships in the community and adding in its own way to our growing national prestige. It is fitting that the University have a center of excellence on campus named after one of our most prestigious alumni. Mitch McConnell has never forgotten his days as a student leader and never shrinks from helping his alma mater. His service to our community is a model of how men and women at the peak of their professional lives can still find time to touch other lives and leave their worlds a little better than they found it. The McConnell Center has given more than $1.7 million in scholarships over the last fifteen years and impacted nearly every corner of our Commonwealth. McConnell Scholars have come from 66 counties across Kentucky and represent a diverse and talented group of young leaders.

Nearly all significant policy innovations in U.S. politics face formidable structural veto-points, cross-cutting interest group pressures, and deep partisan divides. Yet comprehensive immigration reform has proven especially difficult to achieve over time, despite wide agreement that the existing immigration system is flawed and in need of a drastic overhaul. For decades, congressional efforts to enact broad policy changes for the nation’s undocumented population have followed a tortured path of false starts, prolonged negotiation, and frustrating stalemate.
