Borders open immigration yea or nay . You will get a copy of this on leaving. I will let introduce the panelists. That would be superfluous. I want to point out is not true as some people have suggested that we hired barack obama to the advance publicity person for this conference. That is not true. He did it on his own initiative but we are delighted that he was able to bring such focus to this important issue. I think it is an important debate and there are no easy answers i think. Alex nowesteh will start things off with a crisis of his broadside and Mark Krikorian will follow. The other panelists will comment on it and we will allow alex and mark to respond and open up to the audience so perhaps you will have something you would like to say as well. Thank you for that introduction. Thank you to hudson for putting together this great event for publishing the book, for the center of the Immigration Studies, for cosponsoring it and for all of you being here today. I believe american i

If i take a dog who is distracted by food or a female or gunfire while asking him to search, when i send the dog over to and austere environment where he will be used to save peoples lives an

I want to know in detail how rad will impact the 4,000 Housing Units involved, many of which are in district 5. And i hope that the Mayors Office of housing can explain a few things. Tenant rights and how they are protected. Any fair housing implications, specifically should the nonprofit providers be required to report race, family size, etc. The demographics who is admitted. And how we can increase options for housing ladder as residents move up in income status. Who from the city will be the person responsible to ensure that Housing Providers comply with the rights and maintenance needs and all other things that we continue to have challenges with.

What we have learned that most dont take us on that. It becomes too difficult to meet an advocate and share your story, and well send you out, heres a list of people that can help you. It feels abrupt and most people dont appreciate the brushoff in that process. What we seek to is just have one, we dont feel that it cover the entire case load but will improve the servi
