SAN MARCOS -- Problems in the Middle East and illegal immigration, two of the country's top hot button topics, were the focus of a seminar at Palomar College on Wednesday that attracted standing-room-only audiences.
History, economics and political perspectives can shed light and help find solutions to some of these pressing concerns, lecturers said. The discussions were part of Political Economy Days, a two-day seminar tackling political concerns ranging from health care to human rights.
