Thread: Dallas Area University To Hold Immigration Confrence

On Monday Sept. 8th the University of Texas at Arlington's 'Center for Mexican American Studies' will hold a conference on immigration in the USA and Spain. Of course the moderators mainly consist of hispanic professors at the University and others from around the area.

Michale Moore (a terrible professor by the way) and Senior Vice Provost will give the opening remarks.

Somebody...ask them why this country needs a huge new welfare system---welfare across the international boundaries, no less. Massive domestic welfare was tried in the sixties only to be rolled back in the nineties. There is no point in trying it again........this time internationally. Same government, same taxpayers, different recipients.

Hope your are able to attend, dragon5, and please keep us posted. Everyone needs all the info available on this mess.

i have classes but i also have to work.
