Obama administration officials are scheduled to meet in Los Angeles on Friday with Mayor Eric Garcetti, local nonprofits and business owners to discuss ways to encourage immigrants to become U.S. citizens.
The meeting is part of a multi-city tour by the White House’s Task Force on New Americans, which the administration previewed in a call with reporters Thursday.
Senior Deputy Director in the White House Office of Public
Engagement Julie Chavez Rodriguez said Friday’s meeting will allow
federal officials and members of Garcetti’s staff to coordinate with
local leaders in business, nonprofit and community organizations.
“Starting in California is a perfect kickoff from our perspective,” she said.
In recent years California has moved repeatedly to provide rights, benefits and protections to immigrants in the country illegally, including in-state tuition, driver's licenses, rules to limit deportations and state-funded healthcare for children.
Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Jose have signed on to participate in the task force, as have cities in 25 other states.
Rodriguez
praised several California efforts, including the partnership between
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Los Angeles Public
Library system to create “citizenship corners” at every branch
and hold citizenship classes, increased funding for citizenship and
naturalization services by the Napa Valley Community Foundation, and
targeting of individuals eligible for naturalization and connecting them
with resources in San Francisco.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
