[LWVNM Action] LWV-US Immigration Webinar Recording 15/25 Recording

[Meredith Machen]

I highly recommend you watch last night’s webinar linked below if you
missed it. There are solid recommendations about what we can do as League
members to address the mis- and dis-information about refugees and other
non citizens.

Immigration is extremely complicated, and we are seeing even more efforts
to undermine our already broken system. The current administration is
trying to reduce the cap on refugees to 7,500 without getting Congressional
approval, further exacerbating the crisis.
Many people who are lawfully present can no longer buy insurance through
the Affordable Care Act marketplace.

No significant immigration reform has happened since Reagan. Meanwhile over
60, 000 people-80 percent of whom have no criminal records-are in
detention. DHS says they have deported over 100,000. Detainees have little
to no due process and access to immigration attorneys. Immigration judges
are being forced out in massive numbers.

If you want to join the LWV-US Immigration Discussion Group, please contact
me.

Note that LWV has posters about immigration for the No Kings rally on
Saturday.

Hi all,

To those of you who attended our Zoom webinar/meeting yesterday, I hope you
found it educational and worth your time. Our two speakers, Wendy Young,
President of KIND (Kids in Need of Defense) and Karen Musalo, Professor of
Law at the University of California, San Francisco and founding director of
the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies, provided us with very important
and timely information. As always, Susan Martin, our moderator and member
of LWV-US Immigration Interest Group, did a superb job.

Here is a link to a recording of the Zoom from yesterday.

These are some of the notes from the 10/15/25 Meeting Chat:

Our league hosted several webinars on immigration. One organization I would
recommend to help educate the public is the National Economic Education
Delegation and in particular their speaker Jon Haveman. (D. Bianchi)



A great book that validates what Susan is saying is "How Migration Really
Works". (D. Bianchi)



Pregnancy tracker of women in detention:

I do a presentation on immigration I've been doing and revising for several
years now -- I get a lot of invites (4 presentations next week alone). I've
done it for members of this group too. Willing to consider doing it on
zoom. I am Kat Griffith, email katgriffith at hotmail.com Ask me for a
description and bio if you are interested. Lasts 50 minutes, +Q&A.
Addresses much of what's wrong with the current narrative. (K. Griffith)


Thanks for your continued interest in our LWV-US Immigration Interest
Group. As was mentioned yesterday, we plan to hold a general meeting to
hear from all of you, Dec. 4. More information to follow.
