This free event is presented by the Three Rivers Community College Community Involvement & Support Committee.

The presentation will discuss the legal immigration system, legal issues and threats facing undocumented immigrants, as well as the legal rights of undocumented immigrants. There will be time for a question and answer session afterwards. This free event will have valuable information for those interested in immigration, both legal and illegal, as well as the plight and rights of undocumented immigrants.
