The UCLA International Law Society, Immigration Law Society and the Institute of Industrial Relations Present:
Guest Workers and Immigration Reform: Legal, Social & Economic Problems & Prospects Thursday, March 31 UCLA School of Law, Room 1420 UCLA, Los Angeles, CA 5:30 â 7:00 p.m., with light refreshments to follow This program will bring together four experts on immigration policy in order to flesh out and consider the implications of President Bushâs proposed immigration reforms, in particular his guest worker program, which would offer not only temporary legal status to foreign workers who can find willing American employers to employ them, but also legal status to those undocumented workers already present in the United States. The ramifications of enacting President Bushâs program will undoubtedly have a substantial impact on southern California due to its large immigrant population and proximity to the Mexican border. The three speakers are from a variety of backgrounds and, as such, the discussion will touch on not only the legal aspects of the guest worker program, but also the social, economic, and philosophical questions being raised by the proposed program and, more generally, immigration reform in the post 9/11 era. Speakers will include: Michele Waslin, Director of Immigration Policy Research, National Council of La Raza, Washington, D.C Victor Narro, Director of the UCLA Downtown Labor Center and former Co-Executive Director of Sweatshop Watch Ira Mehlman, Media Director, Federation for American Immigration Reform Professor Phillip Martin, UC Davis School of Agricultural Economics [invited but not confirmed] *Sponsored by the Graduate Students Association­**For more information contact Liana Beneli, International Law Society Annual Event Representative at [EMAIL PROTECTED] ========================================================================================================== National Immigrant Solidarity Network No Immigrant Bashing!
