The socioeconomic impact of immigrants in the United States, health care for the undocumented, and attitudes toward immigration are among topics to be explored at a public forum to be held Friday, March 11, at the University of California, Davis. In an attempt to dispel myths and fallacies about immigration, the UC Davis Cross-Cultural Center is presenting "Immigration: Its Terms and Consequences," featuring national, state and local experts on civil rights, immigration and health care, as well as state legislators. The forum is free and open to the public, and will be held on the second floor of the Memorial Union beginning at 8:30 a.m. and concluding at 4 p.m. The forum is intended to "stimulate new, healthy and productive debate on the immigration issue," said Francisco Rodriguez, center director. Rodriguez notes that more than 3.2 million undocumented immigrants are in the United States, with an estimated 200,000 to 300,000 arriving annually. Though that number may seem large, most immigrants coming to the United States do so legally, he says, based on statistics from the U.S. General Accounting Office. Keynote speaker Antonia Hernandez, president and general counsel with the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Fund in Los Angeles, will address "Immigrant Hysteria: A National Perspective." Ronald L. Alvarado, California undersecretary for health and welfare, is scheduled to discuss immigration from Gov. Pete Wilson's point of view. Other speakers include Kevin Johnson, UC Davis law school professor; Eduardo Martinez Curiel, consul of Mexico based in Sacramento; Paul Ong, UC Los Angeles professor; and Dr. Antonio Velasco, Valle Verde Medical Group, Salinas.
