Discussion: Immigration Rights

Date: October 10
Location: Sid Richardson Hall (SRH) Hackett Room, 1.313
Time: 12:00 PM

The Teresa Lozano Long Institute for Latin American Studies presents a discussion "Deportations of Latin American Migrants: Impacts of the U.S. Policy of Massive Removals" led by Nestor Rodriguez, professor of sociology.

Rodriguez will discuss the effects of the U.S. Policy of Massive Removals on immigrants. He will also address the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, which strengthened the enforcement of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, giving it broad authority to arrest, detain and remove immigrants.

Rodriguez recently joined the Department of Sociology from the University of Houston, where he was Chair of the Sociology Department. His research interests include international migration, immigration policy, border enforcement, global urban development, racial and ethnic relations, and state repression.
