Purpose of the Roundtable:

America is a nation of immigrants and as we work to rebuild the economy, our ability to thrive depends, in part, on restoring responsibility and accountability to the immigration system. We are seeking a diverse of stakeholders who care about addressing the concerns and needs of those affected by immigration to provide their voices at the roundtable.

Through the roundtable, we aim to listen to community voices to better inform policy-makers on how the immigration system affects South Asian Minnesotans. Feedback collected at the roundtable will be submitted to Minnesota's congressional legislators and to the Obama Administration.
