N.C. Center for Creative Retirement to Host Forum on Illegal Immigration;
Hiroshi Motomura and Mark Gibney to Speak
As the debate on immigration continues to heat up, two North Carolina experts will weigh in at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 25, at UNC Asheville’s Reuter Center. Hiroshi Motomura of UNC Chapel Hill School of Law will explore “Illegal Immigration: Looking for Common Ground” and UNC Asheville’s Mark Gibney will respond. Both speakers will examine how the unauthorized immigration can be addressed in ways that are politically, economically, legally and practically in the U.S. national interest. The event is free and open to the public.
Motomura is the Kenan Distinguished Professor and associate dean for faculty at UNC Chapel Hill’s School of Law. He is the co-author of the widely used law school casebook “Immigration and Citizenship: Process and Policy” (West 5th ed., 2003) and “Americans in Waiting: The Lost History of Immigration and Citizenship,” which will be released later this year by Oxford University Press. Motomura has served as co-counsel or a volunteer consultant in several recent immigration cases in the U.S. Supreme Court, as well as in immigration cases in the federal appeals courts. He is a member of the American Bar Association’s Commission on Immigration Advisory Committee and is the chair-elect of the Immigration Law Section of the Association of American Law Schools.
Gibney, UNC Asheville Belk Professor of Humanities and professor of political science, is a widely respected international human rights expert. He has written a number of books on immigration and refugee policy, including “Problems of Protection: The UNHCR and Refugees at the Beginning of the 21st Century (edited volume with Niklaus Steiner and Gil Loescher – Routledge, 2003), “Open Borders? Closed Societies?: The Ethical and Political Issues” (Greenwood, 198 and “Strangers or Friends: Principles for a New Alien Admission Policy” (Greenwood, 1986).
The event is sponsored by the N.C. Center for Creative Retirement and the Leadership Asheville Forum.
