The Nation’s Approach to Growing Immigration Concerns
As a political expert and commentator for U.S. News and World Reports, Fox News Channel, and NBC, one of the emphases of Mr. Barone’s commentary has been immigration. Barone takes a positive view of contemporary immigration into the US, explaining that as he sees it, Hispanic immigration has parallels to the experience of many immigrant groups in our nation’s past, and that, given the right circumstances, that current and future Hispanics and other immigrants can become Americanized and assimilated.
National Politics and Our Presidents
Combining his knowledge of the history and development of national politics with his inside look at presidential races, Mr. Barone offers a candid and compelling account of how the current political climate in the United States has evolved and where we can expect to go next.
Michael Barone may be best known for being the principal author of The Almanac of American Politics, a standard reference work of all US governors and federal politicians published every two years by National Journal, however, his insight regarding analysis of elections and political trends has been sought after by many.

He is a regular panelist on The McLaughlin Group, and has appeared as an analyst and commentator on various television shows, including, Meet the Press, This Week, Crossfire, Hardball with Chris Matthews, Today, and Good Morning America.
