The Sierra Club doesn’t have a position on immigration, but now a group of board candidates says that’s not acceptable. They argue that a sustainable environment requires strict immigration limits, and that it’s the Sierra Club’s duty to say so.

Guests:

Miguel Bustillo, staff writer for the Los Angeles Times

Robert Cox, professor of Rhetorical Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Sierra Club board member and past Sierra Club president

Richard Lamm, Director of the University of Denver’s Center for Public Policy and Contemporary Issues and former three-term Democratic Colorado governor, Sierra Club board candidate.
