Carl Shusterman And Congresswoman Maxine Waters
On March 22, 2001, Carl Shusterman met with Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) in her Washington, DC office. Representative Waters is a member of the House Judiciary Committee.
Congresswoman Maxine Waters represents a district which is increasingly Hispanic. It has become a common occurence for the Congresswoman to encounter young constituents who have recently graduated from college and can not find employment because they lack lawful immigration status in the U.S. Many of these college graduates were brought to the U.S. by their parents when they were very young, and never gave a thought to their immigration status until they graduated and sought employment.
