Penn State Law Review held a Scholarly Dialogue on Thursday, January 28 with Victor C. Romero.
This Dialogue featured Victor C. Romero, Maureen B. Cavanaugh Distinguished Faculty Scholar and Professor of Law, as he presented his work, “Of Hope and Humility: Christian Realism, Immigration Reform, and Executive Leadership.” Drawing upon President Barack Obama’s admiration of Reinhold Niebuhr’s work, Romero’s work outlines a Protestant, Christian realist approach toward immigration policy, with specific focus on the role of the executive in providing providential leadership. He discussed various aspects of such leadership, from negotiating the proper role of states and localities to the promotion of comprehensive immigration reform. Alexis Snyder, Managing Editor of the Penn State Law Review, dialogued with Professor Romero about the substance of his article, followed by a public question and answer period. [watch video]
