Arizona Federal Immigration Reform Debate - Register Now for $10 Without Lunch

Immigration reform is one of the most important problems facing our country. Yet despite legislation being passed out of the Senate and polls showing over 75% of Americans wanting the problem addressed, many House members appear to be stalled and unwilling to act due to conflicting views on both the facts and solutions. 

Since the passage of SB 1070, Arizona has had a dramatic change in perspective, from one where anti-immigrant sentiment ran high to one where the business, faith, legal and Latino community came together to offer sane solutions to immigration reform and to its Republican Senators who co-sponsored the "Gang of Eight" immigration reform bill.

Arizona can lead the dialogue through civility and sensible solutions.  It can also seize this historic moment to mitigate damage to its brand caused by federal inaction and state-led actions.  Please act and join us in bringing much needed change to our federal immigration system and laws!

An Oxford-Style Debate on Immigration Reform

Please join 20 of the nation's top academics, opinion makers and immigration practitioners for a series of five Oxford-style debates on the pros and cons of the "Gang of Eight" and House immigration reform legislation. This unique format will provide an opportunity for a direct and candid give and take on the most important aspects of immigration reform and allow both sides of the issue to question data, perspectives and outcomes. For anyone interested in immigration reform, this is a "must-attend" event.
