Monday’s class will be held in the Gaylord Auditorium (Room 1140). It is the presentation by Wall Street Journal senior editorial writer Jason Riley as part of the “Immigration in the Heartland” conference. The first couple of rows will be reserved for the professional journalists attending the event; otherwise you may sit anywhere. Attendance will be taken.
Here is some biographical information on Riley:
JASON RILEY is a member of the editorial board at the Wall Street Journal, where he’s worked for 15 years. He started at the paper six months after graduation from the University at Buffalo in upstate New York, where he was born and raised. Prior to joining the Journal, Riley worked at USA Today and his hometown paper, the Buffalo News. He’s primarily an editorialist, but he also writes op-eds and book reviews for the paper and appears regularly on the Journal’s TV show on Fox News to discuss current events. Riley writes on a wide range of topics, including economics, telecommunications, education and race. He also writes about politics in general at the federal, state and local level. Over the past nine years, one of the subjects he’s covered extensively for the paper is immigration. He’s written about its effects on the economy, the culture and the political debate in the United States. He’s written about both high-skill and low-skill immigrants. He’s reported from both Silicon Valley and the Mexican border. He is the author of a book on U.S. immigration policy, “Let Them In: The Case for Open Borders.”
