English Edition: Voices of Immigration in Chester County

On Thursday, April 26th, a joint program of the Pennsylvania Immigration and Citizenship Coalition, the Chester County League of Women Voters, and AAUW West Chester-Chester County is hosting a panel discussion concerning immigration.
The event will be held in West Chester Borough Hall's Council Chambers, from 7 to 9 p.m.

The flyer for the event reads:
"The United States has made little headway on immigration reform in recent years.  Individual states have passed laws severely limiting immigration and dealing harshly with illegal immigration.  Here in Pennsylvania, several anti-immigration laws have introduced at many levels of government.  Candidates for public office are continuing to debate how people from other lands should be treated - especially those without documentation.
Too often, the voices of individuals are lost in the fiery rhetoric and high emotion that this subject often generates.  This program will feature immigrants, both legal and undocumented, along with an immigration attorney who represents clients throughout Chester County.  Learn about the proposals that are currently before our legislature and about the countless issures that make this topic so complex, difficult and controversial."
