Utah Humanities Council's Public Square presents Tony Yapias on 'Conversation on Immigration.' Since September 11, 2001, the immigration debate in Utah has increased in intensity. Prior to September 11, 2001, then Governor Michael Leavitt and the Utah legislature passed a law to allow undocumented immigrants to obtain a Utah driver's license. Later in 2002, the Legislature passed HB-144 which allows undocumented immigrants who graduated from a Utah high school to continue their higher education in Utah's public colleges and universities at an 'in-state tuition' rate. Since 2002, dozens of proposed bills targeting immigrants and reversing these positions have been presented without success at the Legislature, although with each passing year, the debate has become stronger. This presentation with Tony Yapias will review the history of current immigration policy, its impact on undocumented workers and the U.S. economy and society, and will encourage discussion of the consequences of various legal measures currently proposed.
