As part of LACC’s effort to reach a wider audience, especially policy makers in
Washington, LACC has partnered with the Inter-American Dialogue to produce a
series of expert panels on issues regarding Latin America and the Caribbean.
The second in the series will take place this Friday, Oct. 24 in Washington DC,
and you may RSVP below. The discussion will also be streamed live, so please
save this email so you can link straight through Friday morning.
The Inter-American Dialogue and the Latin American and Caribbean Center at
Florida International University are pleased to invite you to a discussion on
theprospects for immigration reform in the remaining two years of the Obama
administration. The event will take place on Friday, October 24th from 9:30 to
11:00 AM at the Inter-American Dialogue (1211 Connecticut Ave, NW, Suite 510).
The session will explore the following questions: First, in the likely absence
of Congressional action, what decisions and initiatives can be expected from
President Obama after the mid-term elections? Second, in what ways has the
recent surge in child migrants
from Central America shifted the debate over immigration reform? Third, how
can immigration policy be linked with US-sponsored regional security
initiatives? And finally, how will immigration issues likely affect the next
presidential campaign – and outcome?
Our featured speakers will be: Marc Rosenblum, the deputy director of the US
Immigration Policy Program at the Migration Policy Institute who was involved
in crafting the Senate’s immigration legislation in 2007;Rafael Fernandez de
Castro, who served as foreign policy advisor to former Mexican president Felipe
Calderon and now teaches at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School; and Jose
Miguel Cruz, research director at Florida International University’s Latin
American and Caribbean Center and an expert on Central America. The
speakers’ remarks will be followed by a dynamic exchange with the audience.
I hope you can join us for the discussion.
Best,
Michael Shifter
Inter-American Dialogue
Frank Mora
Latin American and Caribbean Center
