Hing and Johnson also participated in the panel, "Law, Policy, Critical Theories of Migration," during the 2007 Bellarmine Forum at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles on October 29.
The Forum focused on the themes of Migration. The panel examined and critiqued contemporary developments in American immigration law and policy. Panelists discussed how immigration rules have enhanced race and class inequalities, and how immigration status itself is becoming a major axis for social inequality. They also discussed policies governing admissions, enforcement, and deportation, and presented leading federal cases that have shaped immigration law and policy since 1980.
