Immigration Reform Forum Held at the Muslim Community Center

Over 60 participants attended a forum at the MCC to learn about the impact the McCain-Kennedy immigration proposal might potentially have on the Muslim community. The forum, which was sponsored by the MCC and the Albany Park Neighborhood Council, focused on educating the community on issues of comprehensive immigration reform. Mr. Fred Tsao, the Policy Director at the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant & Refugee Rights, presented on the details of the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act 2005, informing the audience that a bi-partisan Congressional group has been interested in addressing immigration reform this year. The second part of the forum saw participants sharing stories on how various immigration laws have impacted their lives, including police harassment and unnaturally slow progress on their naturalization applications.
