off, and the locally, and my day job is helping to supervise immigration attorneys at the immigration clinic at davis. i see a range of clients that have pressing needs. while we all hope and wish for compehensive immigration reform, i have got to tell you from what i've heard the last several months, the question we all have to ask ourselves is at what price? if we get an immigration bill introduced that a serious blow for the spring, i'll tell you right now the provisions i will not be happy with. i know they're going to be in there. you should be aware of these provisions. first of all, the price that the estimated 10 million to 12 million undocumented immigrants in the country may be to pay is they may all be forced to plead guilty to a crime before they can file their application. that is before they actually have to pay a fine that is attached. right now what is seriously being discussed is what level of crime should they have to plead guilty to before they apply for legalization. should it be a misdemeanor or in a fraction? that is going on right now. the second thing is an attack on

immigrants from south of the border and it is very clear. on sunday night someone walked up to a planned parenthood clinic in grand chute wisconsin and detonated a homemade explosive device outside a window luckily no one was inside the clinic at the time so no one was injured wisconsin like a number of other states under the control of republican state legislatures is currently in the midst of a heated debate over abortion and that rhetoric could turn the war on women hot leading to some less than stable religious warrior who attacked a planned parenthood clinic we don't know for sure what happened yet as the police are continuing their investigation but you probably haven't heard much about this story. that's because it's received virtually no coverage from the mainstream corporate media. but had that clinic been a church or a government building and had that bomb maker been wearing a turban or going to member of the new black panthers and you can bet it would have received wall to wall media attention especially if iraq so-called news the word terrorism has been plastered with exhibit would it implies or going to war you can use graphics on

give you some ideas that get at the immigration issue and the potential and the need for reform in a way that is a little bit less traditional in that it's almost clinical. i'm going to try to present some economic arguments. i'm going to present some kind of structural social arguments and i'm going to worry you a little because to have the economist law professor opening with an analogy to a science fiction film. don't worry, it works out ok. some may have not seen this film. it's one of my favorites. it starred uma thurman and jude law. it's a near future in which individuals are gentically engineered and it's the story of two brothers. one is enneared to be terrific and great and wonderful and one is not. it's a story about their efforts to succeed. there is one part of the story that resonates so well and is a strong metaphor for immigration and it's the following -- they would have a contest as adolescents and as adults they would swim out in the ocean, and the first one to turn back would lose. it was a simple contest. and in theory, in every possible way in theory, the engineered brother should have won. he was stronger, bigger, better, more fit
