Class: Enrich Your Life: Drawing the Line on the American Dream: U.S. Immigration Policy in the Obama Era

Immigration reform is emerging as a hot political issue not only in Colorado, but nationwide. In this evening course, professors Eric Popkin and Hector Suarez will discuss recent history of immigration legislation, focusing on failed border enforcement strategies; the factors that propel migration from Mexico and Central America with special attention given to trade agreements; demand for immigrant labor by U.S. businesses; the current process for immigrating legally into the U.S.; and immigration reform legislation to be considered in Colorado and nationally. Participants will have short readings in advance to prepare for the course, and the opportunity to discuss the issues in a small group format. This course includes a buffet dinner, wine, beer, and dessert.
