On Thursday, January 29, 2009, Gov. Bill Ritter addressed the DU Immigration Issues Panel. (Click on the picture above to watch his presentation.)
Colorado Governor Bill Ritter describes the complexity of the issue of immigration. The topic is multi-layered with overlapping effects on our economy, health care system, education system and social policy. He applauds the University of Denver for tackling the issue from an academic perspective. “It’s so easy for people to speak ill of illegal immigrants,” said the Governor, “without really understanding all these difficult and complicated layers.” He addresses the need for a reasoned approach to immigration and expresses looking forward to our panel’s recommendations to the state and country.

A motivational Colorado speaker generally starts the proceedings for a function; it should be conference, convocation or a political party line.
