Law Professor Served on 9/11 Commission Task Force

Bill Ong Hing, a professor at the UC Davis School of Law, served on the 9/11 Commission task force, but dissented from the reports recommendations because of his concerns regarding human rights and family-based immigration.

The bipartisan Washington, D.C.-based task force report, titled Immigration and Americas Future: A New Chapter, recommends measures to prevent immigrants from illegal border crossings and to prevent others from overstaying tourist and other temporary visas. It also suggests better tools for employers to check the authenticity of documents, including a social security card that might include fingerprints and photos.
