Federal immigration policies no longer fit todays America, a legal advocate said during a justice for immigration and refugee program todayin the gymnasium at Rosary Cathedral.

Eugenio Mollo, Jr., a managing attorney for the Advocates for Basic Legal Equality, Inc., works to protect immigrant workers rights, with an agricultural focus.

While immigration laws have been updated in apatchwork system, the federal law which established first quotas was created more than 60 years ago.

Were a different country than we were in the 1950s, we look different, our families are different, our economy is different, we have different business needs. We need some sort of comprehensive immigration review, Mr. Mollo said.

The Catholic Churchs mission to help those in need also was stressed during todays program.

It needs to be led by our faith, said Director of Multicultural Ministries Carlos Castaeda.

A similar presentation will be given by Mr. Mollo atToledo Smart School on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.
