Our concern with immigration laws and practice led us to the International Institute of Connecticut's Executive Director, Angela Rossi Zurowski, who agreed to become our speaker on immigration. Her institute is focused on providing access to affordable assistance to immigrants seeking to become citizens, and to reunite families with members in other countries. Attendees at the luncheon learned how difficult it was to become a citizen. We can alleviate many of the problems of immigrants and at the same time serve the needs of this country's citizens, by changing rules and actions of our Immigration service. The League has positions on Immigration that are similar to those of the IIOC, but we learned what those positions meant to the immigrant.
