Immigration and Citizenship

The University of Texas at San Antonio invites you to an Immigration Open Forum on Wednesday, June 24th, 2009 to join community leaders and immigration advocates for a day-long strategy session on comprehensive immigration reform.

 

As the Obama Administration prepares to take up comprehensive immigration reform, the UTSA Mexico Center is bringing together community and immigration leaders to discuss what needs to be included in the effort and what actions this group can take to effectively move forward an immigration agenda.

 

Please, review Invitation Letter .

The goals for the day are four-fold. You will:

 

•  Engage in stimulating conversations and/or presentations with other leaders about what needs to be included in a comprehensive immigration reform
