Event Title
Immigration Enforcement— The Human and Civil Rights Alternative
Description
Recent enforcement incidents in Forks have sparked a debate over the rights of immigrants in communities near the border. What is driving the criminalization of migration and who benefits from the current situation? Should people in all communities, including those on the border, enjoy basic human and civil rights and social equality? This presentation will present the voices and images of people displaced by U.S. trade and economic policy in countries like Mexico and Guatemala, and who bear the effects of the criminalization of migration here in the U.S.
About the Lecturer: David Bacon is a photojournalist, author, political activist, and union organizer who has focused on labor issues, particularly those related to immigrant labor. He has written several books and numerous articles on the subject.
