October 16 — “After the disaster: The Collapse of Congressional Immigration Reform and What’s Next?”
So you thought all intellectuals were automatically pro-immigration? Think again, not the intellectuals from the conservative Heritage Foundation. At least Heritage’s top expert on homeland security is very upset about the current state of immigration in the US.
When: Tuesday October 16, 5:45 refreshments; 6:30 dinner; 7:30 presentation
Where: Woodstock Club

From 1986-2004 James Jay Carafano was Professor of International Relations at the National War College. An accomplished historian and teacher, Carafano was an Assistant Professor at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, N.Y., and served as director of military studies at the Army’s Center of Military History. He also taught at Mount Saint Mary College in New York and served as a fleet professor at the U.S. Naval War College. He is a visiting professor at the National Defense University and Georgetown University.
Carafano joined Heritage in 2003 as a Senior Research Fellow after serving as a Senior Fellow at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, a Washington policy institute dedicated to defense issues. In 2006, Carafano became Assistant Director of Heritage’s Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute for International Studies.
He is a member of the National Academy’s Board on Army Science and Technology, the Department of the Army Historical Advisory Committee, and is a Senior Fellow at the George Washington University’s Homeland Security Policy Institute.
In addition, Carafano is the coauthor of the text book, Homeland Security published by McGraw-Hill. Homeland Security is a practical introduction to everyday life in the new era of terrorism. Numerous key details are addressed, from roles of first responders and volunteers to family preparedness techniques to in-depth descriptions of weapons of mass destruction.
A graduate of West Point, Carafano also has a master’s degree and a doctorate from Georgetown University and a master’s degree in strategy from the U.S. Army War College. In 2005, Carafano earned Heritage’s prestigious Drs. W. Glenn and Rita Ricardo Campbell Award. It is given to the employee who has delivered “an outstanding contribution to the analysis and promotion of the Free Society.”
