Program 762: The Impact of Illegal Immigration

In this panel discussion, two sides of the issue of illegal immigration are discussed; the perceived urgency of the problem as seen by officers of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and public officials in areas economically affected by the presence of large numbers of undocumented immigrants is contrasted with the lack of concern, and even support for the presence of undocumented aliens on the part of certain ethnic groups and international humanitarian organizations. Featuring Manuel L. Carlos, Walter Fogel, William Gorman, Michael Harpold, Alberto Juárez, A. Wells Peterson, Antonio Rodriguez, Gary Schons, Caesar Sereseres, Joseph Sureck, Vic Villapando, and Melanie Wirken. Illegal Immigration III. Mar. 25, 1977. [CSDI program number 762; UCSB tape numbers A8518/R7, A8519/R7]

The Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions (CSDI) was founded by Robert Maynard Hutchins and was based in Santa Barbara, California, from 1959 to 1987. During that time it brought together many of the most capable and distinguished minds of the times to discuss vital issues facing American society of the day. Thanks to donors Neal Linson, Ceil Pulitzer, and Stanley Sheinbaum, a project has begun to digitize and make accessible on the web some of the most important conference proceedings, talks, and dialogues recorded by CSDI.
