Immigration’s Effects to Be Speaker’s Topic

An expert on how current immigration policies affect the local economy is scheduled to speak Monday at the Valley Senior Service and Resource Center in Reseda.

Aurelius Morgner, a semi-retired professor of economics at the University of Southern California, will kick off a series of meetings on current issues at the center led by members of USC’s Emeriti College in a discussion called “The Economic, Political and Social Pros and Cons of Immigration.”

The series will serve as a forum for retired and semi-retired USC professors who want to remain active in their disciplines to share their findings with the community.

Morgner, who specializes in international economics and economic history, plans to explain recent economic analyses on Mexico-U.S. immigration policies and on immigration in general.

Other meetings at the center during the next several weeks will cover topics such as money management, the Republican “Contract with America,” and peace efforts between Israel and the Palestinians.

Morgner’s program will be at 1:30 p.m. at the center, 18255 Victory Blvd. Admission is free. For more information, call (818) 705-2345.
