The push for Comprehensive Immigration Reform resumes in Congress in September. The proposed legislation is detailed, complex and touches on many issues from border security and the path to citizenship, to resolving the status of undocumented persons living in the U.S., including the "DREAMers."For many Americans, there are still unanswered questions about the bi-partisan bill, such as understanding its major provisions, its chance of successful passage through the House, and its economic impact.On Thursday September 12, BWNJ will present an Immigration Policy Forum to address these questions and illuminate some of the issues surrounding the legislation. Gordon MacInnes, President of NJ Policy Perspectives will present new NJPP research on the economic case for Immigration Reform and the persuasive argument for Tuition Equity - the proposed policy of extending in-state tuition benefits to undocumented New Jersey students who wish to pursue higher education.
 We will also be joined by Giancarlo Tello of the NJ DREAM Act Coalition, a student leader and advocate for DREAMers, in-state tuition and other issues relating to undocumented youth. He is also the campaign manager for In-State Tuition for New Jersey United Students, a youth-led movement for tuition equity.
We hope you will be able to join us for this important event.
