Latinos in Florida: Immigration Issues Workshop

Under the context of "religious study" the February 4, 2006 Jupiter, Florida workshop as described below is expected to promote among other aspects detrimental to U.S. citizens and immigrants (legal):

a) Illegal immigration,

b) Jupiter Illegal Alien Hiring Hall, and
