During a telephonic conference call on March 5, local government experts shared their “on-the-ground” experiences related to immigration reform, discussed the findings of an ICMA white paper titled "Immigration Reform: An Intergovernmental Imperative," and called for a sound, national immigration policy. This audio recording of that one-hour telephonic news event features: Nadia Rubaii-Barrett, Ph.D., chair, Dept. of Public Administration at Binghamton University's College of Community and Public Affairs (white paper author); Ron Carlee, county manager, Arlington County, Virginia; Michael (Dave) O'Leary, city administrator, Shelton, Washington; and Elizabeth Kellar, executive deputy director, ICMA (moderator).
