Miami, FL - Congresswoman Frederica S. Wilson (FL-24) will join President Barack Obama on Air Force One to travel roundtrip to Miami on Wednesday, February 25, for the President's town hall meeting on immigration at Florida International University's (FIU) main campus at 3:00 p.m.

"As the representative for one of the most diverse and immigrant rich Congressional districts in the country, I am honored to join President Obama for the town hall meeting on immigration at Florida International University. President Obama's immigration plan would give millions of undocumented immigrants an opportunity to come out of the shadows to get an education, and become law abiding and tax paying citizens. We must not let partisan politics stand in the way of what is morally right," said Congresswoman Wilson.
