HR 4437 workshop very informative

By Omar Medina

Last nights workshop on HR 4437 and other anti-immigrant legislation was very informative. MEChA alumnus, Davin Cardenas, presented on HR 4437 and legislation in the Senate and also President Bush's guest worker program proposal. The work shop was an intimate affair and very interactive. Attenddees were broken up into groups and tested on their current knowledge of U.S. immigration and border security policy and spending.

On Thursday, March 16, 2006 another workshop will be presented by Vicente Lara on mobilizing against these initiatives that will have devastating effects on everyone, not only immigrants.

The workshop will be held at 6:00pm in Stevenson Hall, Room 2091. For more information contact us at: info@mechadesonoma.org.
