CIII: The Federal Legislative Agenda: What's at Stake for California and Its Immigrant Families?

Show Topics:

Program Description

California, home to nearly one in four of the nation’s immigrants, has a lot at stake in the federal debates on critical policy issues from immigration and health care reform to education and workforce investment. With immigration reform legislation expected to be introduced in the next two months, this briefing will focus on how any proposed legalization program might be structured and the potential impact of such program on integration services for immigrants, from ESL classes to health care. The briefing will also provide an update on the immigrant provisions of health care reform legislation and the reauthorization of the Workforce Investment Act and No Child Left Behind. Participants will have ample opportunity to discuss the funding implications. Lunch will be provided.

Speakers: Michael Fix and Margie McHugh, Co-Directors, National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy, Migration Policy Institute. Respondent: Diana Tellefson, Executive Director, United Farm Workers Foundation (invited)
