Mass. immigration report to be made public in Nov.
October 12, 2009

BOSTON—A co-chair of Gov. Deval Patrick's panel appointed to gather public comment on immigration reform says the panel's report will be made public Nov. 17.

Eva Millona, executive director of the Massachusetts Immigrant & Refugee Advocacy Coalition, said Monday that the panel's report will include a list of recommendations that the state can immediately implement and others that may require further state legislation.

Patrick sent the Governor's Advisory Council for Refugees and Immigrants around the state last year to come up with suggestions for new immigration policy.

Last week, Patrick told reporters from ethnic media outlets the panel's report contains 131 recommendations but declined to give details on any recommendations he planned to quickly implement.
