The Long Island Hispanic Bar Association and Touro Law Center To Hold Immigration Forum on Arizona Law and Other State and Local Attempts To Address Immigration Issues
Featuring a distinguished lineup of speakers, including former Nassau County Executive, Thomas Suozzi, this program will provide an overview of immigration law and analyze the constitutionality of the recently enacted Arizona Law and other state and local laws designed to address immigration related issues. It will also explore the practical realities, limitations, and misconceptions faced in addressing these issues.
Richard J. Montes, President of the Long Island Hispanic Bar Association, and appellate attorney with Mauro Goldberg & Lilling, LLP (Great Neck, NY) says, “The program is based on a basic premise: in order to determine whether and how to reform our current system, it is important to know what the current system is, and how it works. This presentation will try to cut through the rhetoric and provide a foundation, as we think about what would be the best way to fix the current system.”
