Please join the Center for Immigration Law and Policy (CILP), students, alumni, and members of the immigrants’ rights community for an evening conversation to launch our Faculty Co-Director, Hiroshi Motomura’s book, Borders and Belonging: Toward a Fair Immigration Policy. Professor Motomura’s book—informed by his personal experience and more than 40 years teaching immigration law—offers a complex and fair-minded account of immigration, its root causes, and the varying responses to it. The conversation will include insights from a diverse panel of guests: Jean Guerrero, investigative journalist, columnist, and author; Nicholas Espiritu, Deputy Legal Director at the National Immigration Law Center (NILC); and Stephen Lee, Professor of Law at UC Irvine School of Law. We look forward to a rich discussion that will examine the issue’s complexity and resolve to move us closer to a more realistic and sustainable immigration policy. There will be an opportunity for attendees to eat, drink, and connect with Professor Motomura, the panelists, and each other prior to the start of the conversation and after. Books will be available for sale at the event.

Please RSVP by Wednesday, February 19 at bit.ly/borders_and_belonging.
