Lynn Elam, chair of the Immigration Committee at League of Women Voters, said “Our national dialogue on immigration is too often reduced to sound bites on podcasts and cable news. We expect this program to help dispel misconceptions and trigger earnest dialogue, which will be critical if we are to address the nation’s immigration challenges in a humane manner, consistent with the Constitutional values upon which our country was founded.”
