League of Women Voters hosts April 18 immigration panel

Immigration: America's Mixed Message, the sixth lecture in a series presented by the League of Women Voters of Johnson County Education Fund, will be presented from 7 to 9 p.m. April 18 at the Coralville Public Library.

Professor Barbara Schwartz, clinical professor of law, University of Iowa, Robin Clark-Bennett, labor educator at the University of Iowa; attorney Dan Vondra, and Geofrey Fischer of the Iowa Immigration Education Coalition will discuss immigration issues as part of the League's series on the U.S. Constitution and the Supreme Court.

They will address whether the Constitution restricts regulation of immigration to the federal level, how immigration affects labor issues, and what civil rights do our laws and the Constitution grant immigrants.

Co-sponsors of the event are the Iowa City Human Rights Commission and the Iowa Immigration Education Coalition. The series is free and open to the public.
