Conversations and Coffee Hour: Week 4
Hello All,
Thanks to everyone that came out to Conversations and Coffee Hour despite the rain. I think we had a very informative conversation. The next meeting will be about immigration reform. There is a push to change the distribution of what type of immigrants are going to be accepted into the US each year. The change will lower the proportions of reunification immigration to increase the proportion of skilled workers.Below is the link to that article.There are also links within the article for additional information for anyone who is interested.As always everyone is invited and welcomed.

“'Immigrant Acts' names the agency of Asian immigrants and Asian Americans: the acts of labor, resistance, memory, and survival, as well as the politicized cultural work that emerges from dislocation and disidentification” (Lisa Lowe, 1998: 9).
