About this Program
Millions of people desperately want to enter this country and are willing to make great sacrifices to get here. Are they persecuted people fleeing gangs? Desperate refugees seeking a better life? Criminals on the run? Potential soldiers for US drug cartels? A mix of all of the above and more?
How broken is our immigration system and its policies?
On April 4th, Alex M. Saragoza, UC Berkeley professor emeritus, writer and lecturer, will bring us up close to these and other important questions in The Southern Border Crisis: Its Meaning and Possible Future.
With often contradictory reports coming at us, the program will strive for clarity on this top-of-the-news issue.

Menu: House salad, chicken Provençal, roasted potatoes and
assorted mini dessert tray
