IMMIGRATION AND TERRORISM
Practical Solutions from the TrenchesWASHINGTON (Posted 10.29.01) -- Politicians, pundits, and policy analysts have had much to say since September 11 about the failure of our immigration policy in promoting homeland security. But there has been little input from people who have worked to implement U.S. immigration policy -- men and women who have actually processed visa applications, guarded our borders, or prosecuted immigration law breakers.
To remedy this, the Center for Immigration Studies will host a panel discussion featuring five immigration enforcement veterans offering practical solutions to the shortcomings in our immigration-control system. The event will take place on Tuesday, November 6, from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m., in the Holeman Lounge of the National Press Club, 529 14th St. NW (at F Street).
* Edward Grant, a member of the Board of Immigration Appeals (which hears appeals of decisions by immigration judges) and former attorney for the House of Representatives immigration subcommittee and the Immigration and Naturalization Service
* Bill King, retired senior Border Patrol agent and head of the Border Patrol Academy who administered the 1986 illegal-alien amnesty for the INS' Western Region
* Peter Nunez, former U.S. attorney for San Diego and Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Enforcement in the first Bush administration, acting as "border czar" -- liaison between the INS, the U.S. Customs Service, and the Drug Enforcement Agency
* Mark Reed, retired INS Regional Director who spent 27 years with the agency (including as an immigration inspector on the northern border) and founder of the Border Management Services consulting firm
* Jessica Vaughan, former foreign service officer who served in Belgium and Trinidad and Tobago in the Consular Corps, and former assistant director of the Center for Immigration Studies, where she wrote widely on immigration issues
Continental breakfast will be available. For more information, contact John Keeley, (202) 466-8185, jmk@cis.org
