Arizona: Illegal Immigration's Ground Zero!
with Daniel Gonzalez of the Arizona Republic
hosted by Morris Massey
As Arizona assumes a controversial lead in trying to deal with illegal immigrants, the subject has become a hot button issue in daily Arizona news reports. As the lead immigration reporter for The Arizona Republic, Daniel Gonzalez is in a unique position to see the full spectrum of facts, fictions and fabrications — and any hopes for resolution.
Since joining the Republic’s Phoenix reporting staff in 1999, Daniel has covered issues
surrounding immigration, the border, refugee resettlement, Latino affairs, and the Iraqi community.
Canyon Moon Theatre's Conversations brings Daniel's insights, both personal and professional, to this often highly polarizing subject that impacts us all.

Join Conversations on November 4 when reporter Daniel Gonzalez covers a topic as timely as tonight's newscast and tomorrow's headlines.
What might be a "best case scenario," if any, for resolution?
Are Minutemen and fences potentially "real solutions" or basically "feel good posturing?"
What do you and other reporters sense are the "real fears" underlying extreme positions which seem to be forming?
Do positions seem to be becoming more polarized?
Are there any common ground points that both sides can agree upon?
What are some myths about illegal immigrants?
Is Mexico really doing anything to help solve the issues?
As an objective reporter, how does reporting on this subject affect you personally?
What do you think underlies the hate mail and phone calls you receive after you simply write/report a story with data that has basically been generated by others?
