Civil Rights, Human Dignity, and the Immigrant Workforce
This session focuses on reconciling the U.S. need for labor with the protection of human and civil rights in the face of rising anti-immigrant sentiment and the push for mass deportation. While economic downturns, political instability, and humanitarian crises push many Latin Americans to seek better opportunities in the U.S., they often encounter significant resistance. Panelists will discuss how the U.S. can address the need for skilled labor while ensuring that immigration policies uphold human dignity and civil rights, especially as the debate intensifies around migration and the future of immigration reform.
