Forum on the Anti-Immigration Movement


Monday, 30 April 2007 - 7:30pm
Place: The Brecht Forum - 451 West Street b/w Bank and Bethune A, C, E or L to 14th Street & 8th Ave

Join us for an introduction to the constellation of anti-immigration forces in the United States—think tanks, interest groups, private foundations, corporations, political action committees, politicians, media personalities, pundits, and grassroots organizations. We will explore how this movement operates and how it has successfully mobilized its constituencies by stoking fears among the U.S. working class about economic displacement. Attention will also be given to the mass detention of undocumented immigrants and to strategies to counteract the movement.
