Immigration Reform Act and Latinos by info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Professor Mariela Olivares talked about the effects of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 on Latinos, specifically from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras. She argued that this reform supported cheap labor services, primarily benefited men, and indirectly caused a rise in illegal immigration. The lecture was part of a two-day symposium hosted by the U.S. Capitol Historical Society titled "Congress and a Nation of Immigrants, 1790-1990: From the First Naturalization Act to the Simpson-Mazzoli Act." This was held in the Russell Senate Office Building. + www.c-spanvideo.org/program/409144-5
