> THE PRESENTATION:
>
> Congress has failed twice in the past four years to pass any
> meaningful immigration reform, pushing over 11 million undocumented
> immigrants and their families deeper into the shadows of our
> communities. The resulting void has provoked a slew of hostile
> proposals on a federal and local level that threaten immigrant
> workers and their children. These over-reaching policies generate
> collateral damage to immigrants here legally, the citizen children
> of immigrant parents and people of color generally.
>
> Karen Narasaki, the President of the Asian American Justice Center
> and Vice Chair of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human
> Rights, will talk about both positive and adverse policies being
> proposed in Washington and around the country; what is at stake for
> those who are working to improve the social welfare of these
> communities; and what those concerned about civil and human rights
> can do.
>
> The CUSSW Lecture Series is made possible, in part, by the endowment
> of the Lucille N. Austin Visiting Scholars Fund.
>
