Forum focuses on future of Mexicans in NYC
Sunset Park group looks at immigration issues
New York City is home to large numbers of immigrants and a Sunset Park organization decided to take a closer look at the issues facing one particular group of foreign-born residents.
Mixteca Organization Inc., an immigrant service center based on 23rd Street in Sunset Park, co-sponsored a recent forum on Mexican immigrants with the Jaime Lucero Mexican Studies Institute at the City University of New York (CUNY).
The forum, which took place at the CUNY Graduate Center on Fifth Avenue and 34th Street in Manhattan on Nov.19, brought together experts in immigration law and advocates for immigration reform to discuss the future of Mexicans and Latinos in New York.
