A number of U.S. cities have declared themselves “sanctuaries” for undocumented immigrants, but what exactly does this mean?
In this book talk, co-authors Benjamin Gonzalez O’Brien and Loren Collingwood explore the history and the religious roots of sanctuary policies. The authors examine how these policies have been framed in the media, the predictors of public support for or opposition to them, and their effects on crime and Latino political incorporation.
Restrictive immigration policies, they show, make 911 calls from immigrant communities less likely. In cities with sanctuary policies, Latinos are more likely to vote and to participate in the police force, suggesting that sanctuary legislation has positive effects for political incorporation.
The authors also confront claims that these policies increase crime rates and conclude with a discussion of the implications of their research for the U.S. immigration debate.
Admission is free.

Kenneth R. Strange Jr. (1955- ) was born in Brooklyn, New York. He spent a Junior Year abroad in Spain studying at the University of Madrid, Facultad de Letras y Filosofia. Ken later taught high school Spanish and English as a Second Language in New York and the Middle East.
Kenneth R. Strange Jr. (1955- ) is the author of “It’s Your Camino: One Couple’s 500-mile Pilgrimage Across Spain”. “The Camino de Santiago is both quest and pilgrimage, goal and process. It is not a journey for the faint of heart or soft of foot. People embark on the five-hundred mile, thirty-one day trek from the Pyrenees Mountains in France to the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Spain for many reasons–religious, spiritual, physical and personal. For author Kenneth R. Strange Jr. and his wife, Aurora, walking the Camino is about adventure and a lifelong love of Spain, both of which shine through in ‘”It’s Your Camino.”‘
Join Ken as he gives overview and summary of the Camino including its historical and spiritual significance, renowned persons who have traveled the Camino and its evolving attraction for people from all over the world and also recount his motivation for hiking the sacred pilgrimage route, his preparation for the 500-mile 31 day journey and his experience on the Camino itself.
