Embracing Immigration

(Mar. 3, 2008)

Immigration has become the most hotly debated domestic issue in America – and Minnesota is on the forefront of the debate. For this program, a panel of Minnesota leaders on immigration issues will discuss:
 

• The impact of federal immigration policy and enforcement on Minnesota businesses and communities.

• The role immigrants play in our economy, especially in Greater Minnesota.

• Civil rights issues faced by immigrants and communities of color in the current environment.

• How both newcomers and long-time residents of Minnesota can participate in creating a more welcoming and productive environment for everyone.
