According to the event committee, most of the topics “sooner or later, directly or indirectly, connect the United States and Latin America,” which is the “axis around which the debate on undocumented workers revolves.” The Committee asked FLOC to have a booth at the conference so that the attendees could understand the scope of immigration reform and the dangers of HR 4437.
