Reforming Immigration on Tuesday's Access Utah

The U. S. Senate appears to be moving towards a compromise on immigration.  We’ll ask you where you stand.  Do you support the principles in the Utah Compact? Do you prefer an Arizona-style solution?   Should any plan lean towards border security and enforcement or a path to citizenship for those now here illegally? Should Utah implement its currently-delayed guest worker law? What does a good solution to the immigration problem look like? 

Our guests include former Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff; Natalie Gochnour, associate dean in the David Eccles School of Business at the University of Utah and chief economist and senior advisor to the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce; and Delta resident Jane Porter, a legal immigrant from England.

Tom Williams worked as a part-time UPR announcer for a few years and joined Utah Public Radio full-time in 1996. He is a proud graduate of Uintah High School in Vernal and Utah State University (B. A. in Liberal Arts and Master of Business Administration.) He grew up in a family that regularly discussed everything from opera to religion to politics.
