“Welcome the Wretched” - A discussion in defense of the “Criminal Alien”
The Binger Center for New Americans and the Immigration History Research Center at the University of Minnesota invite you to a conversation with César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández about his new book, Welcome the Wretched: In Defense of the “Criminal Alien”. His book draws on history, legal analyses and philosophy to counter “the fundamental assumption that criminal activity has a rightful place in immigration matters, arguing that instead of using the criminal legal system to identify people to deport, the United States should place a reimagined sense of citizenship and solidarity at the center of immigration policy.” Professor García Hernández will discuss his book with University of Minnesota experts Jimmy Patiño from Chicano & Latino Studies and Seiko Shastri from the Law School.
PRIZE ALERT: Register by April 15 to be entered in a drawing to receive a copy of the book.
