Immigration Week borders campus

By Katharine Chow

Santa Clara's Immigration Week kicked off Monday and will run through Friday. The week is meant to help people understand and learn more about immigration policies as well as the many issues that encompass this growing problem. Hosted by the Residental Learning Communitiess, Santa Clara  Community Action Program, Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán and the Anthropology Department, an immigration panel was the first event on the agenda. There is a mock border wall  on the lawn between Benson and Kenna Hall to showcase photographs, stories and art that have to do with immigration. A vigil was held for those who died crossing the border on Tuesday. Wednesday was marked the Day of Silence to raise awareness of immigrant struggles. A forum was held in Sobrato Wednesday night. 

Today, Bay Area artist, Josh Healy is set to give a speech at 7 p.m. in Sobrato hall. The week will end with a documentary showing at Mountain View Day Worker Center on Friday.
