Sedona, AZ — Sedona Great Decisions Group will consider Immigration Policy: Then and Now on March 2 from 10 am to noon at the Community Library Sedona, 3250 White Bear Road. This meeting is open to the public, free of charge.
The multi-faceted and often divisive immigration issues America faces today have long and complex historical roots. Such terms as immigrant, non-immigrant, refugee, permanent resident, and naturalized citizen are often used loosely. Local attorney and SGDG member Sam Britton will provide a brief historical background, explain current policies and practices, and lead a discussion afterwards. A graduate in Asian studies from the University of Texas and in law from the University of Houston, he will draw on his extensive legal experience in the US, Thailand and Burma (Myanmar).
As the local chapter of the national Foreign Policy Association, Sedona Great Decisions Group has been meeting monthly since 1985 to discuss a wide range of foreign affairs issues. Discussions are nonpartisan and educational, allowing a diversity of opinions to be shared honestly and constructively. The aim, in the words of FPA President Noel Lateef, is to help citizens “learn to discern truth from propaganda, participate meaningfully in public debate, and hold leaders accountable through informed engagement.”
All are welcome, but seating is limited. To reserve a place or get more information about membership, please contact Group Leader Charles Blum at chblum45@yahoo.com or call 301-717-4210.
