Law professor and immigration lawyer César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández visits the Logan Heights Branch Library to present his new book, Welcome the Wretched: In Defense of the “Criminal Alien,” which makes a powerful case for divorcing immigration law from criminal law — including abolishing immigration crimes and allowing migrants who have been accused or convicted of crimes to remain in the U.S. as residents or citizens. This important discussion is free to attend and open to the public. Seating is first come, first served. Library Shop SD will be on hand selling books. Proceeds support the San Diego Public Library. About the Book: In Welcome the Wretched: In Defense of the “Criminal Alien,” law professor and immigration lawyer César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández makes a powerful case for divorcing immigration law from criminal law — including abolishing so-called immigration crimes (such as crossing and re-crossing the border “illegally”), and allowing migrants who have been accused or convicted of crimes to remain in the U.S. as residents or citizens. García Hernández isn’t basing these proposals on a fantasy. What he describes was U.S. policy until the late 20th century. About the Author: César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández is the Gregory H. Williams Chair in Civil Rights and Civil Liberties at the Ohio State University Moritz College of Law and an immigration lawyer.
