Washington, D.C. (July 24, 2019) – Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) will be featured in an Immigration Newsmaker conversation hosted by the Center for Immigration Studies on Tuesday, July 30, at 8:00 a.m. at the National Press Club. We ask that you RSVP via email to Marguerite Telford if you would like to reserve a seat. Media is given priority. In addition, we will stream the event on Facebook Live.
Sen. Tom Cotton has been a strong advocate for border and interior enforcement, speaking often about the dangers of the cartels that smuggle narcotics across the southern border and the growth of violent gangs, such as MS-13. The Senator has sponsored a number of important immigration bills, including the Reforming American Immigration for a Strong Economy Act (RAISE Act), which modernizes our immigration system to attract more high-skilled workers and protects the jobs and wages of American workers.
The conversation on Tuesday, moderated by Mark Krikorian, the Center's executive director, will cover such topics as merit-based immigration, chain migration, the link between national security and immigration, and the
prospects for immigration legislation.
When: Tuesday, July 30, 2019, at 8:00 a.m.
Where: National Press Club, Murrow Room, 529 14th St. NW, 13th Floor, Washington, D.C.
The Immigration Newsmaker series provides an opportunity for government agency heads, members of Congress, and other policymakers to discuss their priorities and explore the challenges they face. The events, held at the National Press Club, are seated, on-the-record conversations between the guest and a member of the CIS staff.
