Primary tabs
Major Event on U.S. Immigration Policy!
Thursday May 13, 2010, 7pm
First Unitarian Church (220 Winton Rd South)
A reading, discussion, and book signing by Margaret Regan, author of the major new book on the human impact of U.S. immigration/border policy,
The Death of Josseline:
Immigration Stories from the Arizona-Mexico Borderlands
Tucson, Arizona newspaper reporter Margaret Regan is an engaging and highly informed speaker. Her powerful and important book comes out of her past 10 years of reporting on events along the Arizona-Mexico border, especially on the injuries and deaths of migrants and on their treatment by Border Patrol.
Her book could hardly be more timely. Senators Schumer and Graham have proposed a bipartisan bill for immigration reform. This effort is sure to be as controversial as the health insurance issue. What better way to get informed on the issue than by hearing Margaret Regan at her single Rochester appearance?
