Jeffrey Kaye is a journalist, writer, and producer. He is the
author of Moving Millions: How Coyote Capitalism Fuels Global
Immigration (Wiley, 2010). He is a special correspondent for the PBS News Hour,
public television's week nightly news program, and a contributor to World
Report, the public affairs program of HDNet television. He reports and writes on
immigration issues for various media outlets, and is a frequent public speaker
and commentator on the subject.
Kaye�s abiding interest in immigration
is formed in part by his own history. Along with his parents and sister, he
himself immigrated to the United States from England in 1963. His grandparents
and great grandparents were immigrants to England from Poland. As a journalist
he has covered immigration on four continents. And as a resident of El Pueblo de
Nuestra Se�ora la Reina de los �ngeles de Porci�ncula (Los Angeles, California),
he has seen the world arrive on his doorstep.
Over the past years, assignments took
him to Europe, Latin America, Asia, and North Africa, where he has covered such
subjects as gun running, the global economic crisis, immigration, the drug
trade, and the treatment of prisoners at Guant�namo Bay. Kaye began reporting
for the News Hour in 1984, and covered a wide variety of stories, including
urban politics, housing, health care, factory farming, weapons systems,
government contracting, predatory lending, and space exploration.
Between 1980 and 1984, Kaye was a
reporter and senior producer at KCET-TV (PBS) in Los Angeles. Previously, he
worked as a magazine writer, a freelance reporter for National Public Radio, a
TV producer, and as a special correspondent for the Washington Post and other
publications.
