Temple Beth-El and the Reform Jewish Voice of New Jersey are teaming up with the Network for Responsible Public Policy (NRPP) to present a discussion of immigration in America today.
We will learn about U.S. history of immigration in terms of inclusion and exclusion as well as the history of America’s border. We will learn the facts about the economic case for immigration, the politics of immigration in the Trump era, today’s politics of expanding the wall along the southern border and how to change the narrative around immigrants in America today.
This event is free and open to the community. Register at www.nrpp.org
