Why You Should Attend
A new Administration and a downturn in the economy have contributed to an ever-changing and challenging year in immigration. This year's program will take a comprehensive look at immigration from several perspectives. What immigration policies has President Obama initiated in his first year, and what programs has his Administration suspended? How has the Department of Labor's view of PERM been affected by the year's events? What changes will the Bureau of U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) look to implement to H-1Bs cap filings for Fiscal Year 2011? States are beginning to enforce the array of employer sanctions legislation passed in the last few years, and municipalities are accelerating efforts to "get tough" on undocumented workers. The Department of Homeland Security has suggested stepped up enforcement of employers through criminal prosecutions and workplace raids. How have the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) policies affected undocumented immigrant workers and asylum seekers this year?
