	=== Major Program Areas ===
	MPI operates through three major program areas:

	* '''The U.S. Immigration Policy Program:''' "The U.S. Immigration Policy Program analyzes U.S. policies and their impacts, as well as the complex demographic, economic, political, foreign policy, and other forces that shape immigration to the United States. The program also offers influential thought leadership and policy recommendations regarding ways to improve the U.S. immigration system so that it works most effectively in the national interest."<ref>{{Cite web \|title=U.S. Immigration Policy Program \|url=https://www.migrationpolicy.org/programs/us-immigration-policy-program \|access-date=2022-04-07 \|website=migrationpolicy.org \|language=en}}</ref>

	=== Migration Policy Institute Initiatives ===
	MPI also has three initiatives focused on improving the quality of immigration policy and standards across the globe, particularly in the ] and its surrounding regions.

	==== '''The Human Services Initiative''' ====
	'''The Human Services Initiative''' focuses on "a range of immigration issues affecting children, families, and health- and human services programs and policies in the United States."<ref name=":2">{{Cite web \|title=Human Services Initiative \|url=https://www.migrationpolicy.org/programs/human-services-initiative \|access-date=2022-04-07 \|website=migrationpolicy.org \|language=en}}</ref> It further states that it "produces research, policy analysis, private convenings, public events, and technical assistance to inform federal, state, and local policies and practice."<ref name=":2" /> In service of this initiative, the MPI works on the following issues:

	* '''Refugee Resettlement:''' "The initiative conducts research and delivers technical assistance to strengthen refugee resettlement services, with particular attention to underserved groups such as women, children and youth, and individuals with disabilities. The initiative engages in comparative studies to identify promising models that suit refugee resettlement in different national or regional contexts."<ref name=":2" />
	* '''Unaccompanied Children:''' " policies and programs that affect unaccompanied minors while they are in government custody, transitioning to local communities, or re-entering their countries of origin. The initiative engages providers, governments, community-based organizations, and others to improve services to these children based on child development and child welfare principles."<ref name=":2" />
	* '''Access to Benefits and Services:''' "The initiative examines the legal and policy frameworks set by governments to determine immigrants’ eligibility for public benefits and services such as Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. It also focuses attention on systemic challenges in connecting asylees, children of immigrants and other eligible groups to available benefits and services."<ref name=":2" />

	==== The Latin America and Caribbean Initiative ====
	The MPI's '''Latin America and Caribbean Initiative''' works "to develop evidence-based research and innovative, effective policy solutions for the migration challenges facing Latin America and the Caribbean."<ref>{{Cite web \|title=Latin America and Caribbean Initiative \|url=https://www.migrationpolicy.org/programs/latin-america-caribbean-initiative \|access-date=2022-04-07 \|website=migrationpolicy.org \|language=en}}</ref> It focuses on the increasingly complex landscape surrounding immigration from and within ] and ]. The initiative currently focuses on:

	* Developing pathways for immigrant populations to legally immigrate to other countries
	* Improving immigrant integration in Central and North America
	* Increasing regional cooperation regarding migration management across Central and North America.
	* It also operates a Latin America and Caribbean Migration Portal that serves as a clearinghouse (in for migration research and analysis on the region.<ref>{{Cite web \|title=Latin America & the Caribbean Migration Portal \|url=https://www.migrationportal.org/ \|access-date=2022-05-07 \|language=en-US}}</ref>

	The '''Transatlantic Council on Migration (TCM)''' is a "unique deliberative body that examines vital policy issues and informs migration policymaking processes across Europe, North America, and Australia."<ref name=":3">{{Cite web \|date=2013-07-17 \|title=About the Transatlantic Council on Migration \|url=https://www.migrationpolicy.org/programs/transatlantic-council-migration/about \|access-date=2022-04-07 \|website=migrationpolicy.org \|language=en}}</ref> The council was founded by the MPI's founding president ], is based in ], and receives support from the ], the ], as well as the governments of ], ], ], the ], ], and ].<ref name=":3" /> The Council states it has a dual mission:

	* "To help inform the transatlantic immigration and integration agenda and promote better-informed policymaking by proactively identifying critical policy issues, analyzing them in light of the best research, and bringing them to public attention."<ref name=":3" />
	* "To serve as a resource for governments as they grapple with the challenges and opportunities associated with international migration."<ref name=":3" />

	In these endeavors, the TCM's approach is "evidence-based, progressive yet pragmatic, and ardently independent."<ref name=":3" /> The proposed policy options placed before the Council are vetted by leading experts, and are based in fields including:

	* "Advancing social cohesion and social justice through more thoughtful citizenship and integration policies that focus equally on rights and responsibilities."<ref name=":3" />
	* "Enhancing economic growth and competitiveness through immigration."<ref name=":3" />
	* "Encouraging and facilitating greater mobility through better security."<ref name=":3" />
