Immigration is a divisive American issue. As Congress has been unable to pass immigration reform, state involvement in immigration policy and enforcement has grown, with several states enacting laws aimed at reducing levels of illegal immigration. Arizona’s new immigration law, commonly referred to as SB 1070, sparked a firestorm of debate, provoked a number of private lawsuits, inspired lawmakers in other state to propose similar legislation, and prompted a legal challenge by the federal government.
This conference is designed to explore the complex legal and policy issues raised by increasing state involvement in immigration. Obviously, Arizona is now ground zero in the national debate both about the appropriate immigration policy for the nation and whether such a policy should be developed by the states or by the federal government. But so far the debate has generated far more heat than light. What the state and the country need is a much more thoughtful analysis of the legal, social, political, and economic issues at play.
The conference will take place in Armstrong Hall at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law located at:
1100 S. McAllister Ave
Tempe, Arizona 85287
