League of Women Voters hosts immigration forum

The League of Women Voters of Rhode Island wants to understand the issues and debates surrounding immigration, both legal and illegal.

The League, which has no formal position or policy recommendation regarding immigration, says that's because there are still too many questions.

At a forum tomorrow at Rhode Island College, the group will try to get a hold on the different aspects of immigration with help from speakers on health care, history, the economy, education and public policy.

The forum, 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., will be held at RIC’s Gaige Auditorium, 600 Mt. Pleasant Ave. Admission is $15 for adults and $10 for students.

Speakers will include RIC Professor Chester W. Smolski; Providence Schools Superintendent Donald W. Evans; Deputy Director Catherine B. Walsh, RI Kids Count; John Uvin, director of the Rhode Island Division of Adult Education; and William Shuey, director of the International Institute of Rhode Island.

Small group discussions will be led by local media personnel.
