« 1 in 3 don't take advantage of food stamps | Today | Feds may again cut rates » January 30, 2008Talking about our immigrationIf reader comments to the 7-to-7 Breaking News Blog are any indication, Rhode Islanders are, to put it mildly, concerned about immigration. Today at Roger Williams University School of Law, four speakers are taking up the topic at a mid-day forum, “The Challenges of Immigration Reform in Rhode Island.” Scheduled speakers are Sen. Juan Pichardo, D-Providence; Col. Ramon Martinez, president and CEO of Progreso Latino; Immigration attorneys Alison Foley and Roberto Gonzalez; and Ivette Luna, community organizer at Ocean State Action. The forum, scheduled for 12:30 p.m. today, will be held at the RWU Law School, Room 30, is sponsored by the American Constitution Society, the ACLU, and a host of attorney and law student organizations. Posted by Brandie Jefferson CommentsGreg | January 30, 2008 11:02 AM link I thought a forum required multiple points of view. This looks one sided Smith | January 30, 2008 11:15 AM link A forum usually requires people with college degrees and some level of complex thinking. The organizers probably couldn't find any anti-immigrant speakers who fit the bill!!! Bob J. | January 30, 2008 3:58 PM link Actually Bob, the immigrants are the ones without degrees. But I bet you want the government to pay for them. For the record, no one is "anti-immigrant." There are, however, some of us left who actually believe in obeying the law- something that all of these liberal organizations seek to circumvent on behalf of the Democratic party. EMT | January 30, 2008 4:45 PM link Lou Dobbs is speaking on our campus tomorrow night. I think you will all agree that he adequately represents the "other side's perspective" on this matter. In fact, our forum was to balance his lecture. Matt | January 30, 2008 4:55 PM link Hey, EMT, you take that back. My law-obeyin'-circumventin' is strictly non-partisan! frymaster | January 31, 2008 6:06 AM link Post a commentPlease be civil. Vicious comments, personal attacks and profanity won't be published.

That's a SERIOUSLY one-sided 'talk' they plan to have. All they're missing is LaRaza.
