Immigration Backlash

3:30-5:00 pm in RC 12

You are invited to attend presentation on Immigration Backlash
presented by Casey Sanchez, investigative reporter with the Southern
Poverty Law Center. Casey will be on the Viterbo campus Thursday
February 14 and a number of opportunities exist for you and your
students to hear Mr. Sanchez speak on this important social justice
issue.

Casey will talk about the more than 100 nativist extremist groups have
formed in the US over the past three years. Mr. Sanchez’s presentation
will look at the tactics used by the hard-liners of the anti-immigrant
movement. Many have moved beyond targeting policy to targeting
immigrants themselves.

Casey Sanchez is a staff writer at The Intelligence Report, a quarterly
magazine published by the Southern Poverty Law Center that monitors
hate and extremist activity in the US. In 2007, the magazine was named
the best “In-Depth/Investigative Reporting” periodical by the Utne
Independent Press Awards.

This event is co-sponsored by the Latin American Program and Campus
Ministry. If you have questions please contact Connie Fossen x3729
