Events Detail

Hudson Senior Fellow John Fonte will review the highlights of his recent paper on the problem of immigrant dual allegiance. He will pose the question: Should America continue to permit the rapid increase in dual allegiance that will happen by default if proposed immigration legislation (McCain-Kennedy, Kyl-Cornyn) is enacted without changes, or do we begin to reject immigrant dual allegiance in principle and take measures to restrict it in practice?

Responding to this question and analyzing the current immigration debate,
particularly within American conservatism, will be:

MICHAEL BARONE, U.S. News and World Report

DAVID KEENE, American Conservative Union (ACU)

MARK KRIKORIAN, Center for Immigration Studies (CIS)

Moderating the event will be:

JOHN O' SULLIVAN, Hudson Institute
