Program 769: Illegal Immigration and Development Aid

Ronald M. Green, of Dartmouth College, argues that the United States must not make economic aid to countries within close proximity to our borders conditional upon the demographic performance of these nations, but should instead make such assistance population-directed. Both the urgent necessities of economic aid and population limitation could be addressed, he suggests, by focusing on the health, education, and employment opportunities of women in developing countries. Followed by discussion with Richard Arellano, Harry S. Ashmore, Noah benShea, Jorge A. Bustamante, Walter Fogel, Robert Gillespie, Bernard Haber, Garrett Hardin, Doris Meissner, Marcos Manuel Suarez, Luis Alfonso Vellarde, Jr., Richard Wasserstrom, and Melanie Wirken. Illegal Immigration X. Dec. 10, 1977. [CSDI program number 769; UCSB tape numbers A8530/R7, A8531/R7]

CSDI Audio Archive Information

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.
