Newswise — Wayne Cornelius, a leading authority on Mexican migration to the United States, will discuss the latest U.S. government proposals regarding border enforcement and other issues in the national immigration debate when he speaks at the University of California, San Diego Social Sciences Supper Club, September 20 at the Faculty Club on the UCSD campus. The public is invited to attend.
Cornelius, Distinguished Professor of Political Science and Gildred Professor of U.S.-Mexican Relations, is the founding director of UCSD's Center for Comparative Immigration Studies. He is frequently called upon for perspective on border initiatives, such as the plan, approved late last year by the U.S. House of Representatives, to build 700 miles of fencing along the US-Mexico border and the deployment, by President Bush, of 6,000 national guard troops along the border.
In his presentation to the Supper Club, Cornelius will take up these issues of border enforcement and will reflect, also, on his own extensive surveys among would be migrants from Mexico. He will also discuss the recent Mexican presidential election and what those results might mean for relations between the neighboring states.
Reservations for the supper club, or further information, may be obtained by calling Rosalyn Smyth at 858 822-6694 or [email protected]. Price for the dinner, presentation and parking is $65.
