With immigration a key issue in the 2024 presidential election, Studio 2 hosts an engaging conversation on the topic with insight from stakeholders in Chester County who will speak about the issue through personal, social and economic lenses.
What reforms to federal immigration law are needed to bolster the economy of southeastern Pennsylvania? What does the national debate over border enforcement and the immigrant experience get right and wrong about the needs of industry, workers and the larger community? How do these questions resonate in Chester County, home to a large year-round immigrant workforce in the booming mushroom industry?
Our diverse panel hashes these questions out during a free, public event ahead of Kennett Square’s annual Mushroom Festival.
Studio 2 hosts Cherri Gregg and Avi Wolfman-Arent will lead a conversation with guests including University of Pennsylvania professor and author Zeke Hernandez, Kennett-based immigration attorney Nancy Ayllon-Ramirez, as well as those representing workers, industry, and diverse political viewpoints.
