Immigration Edition.
When he made the announcement to reopen the government, Trump threatened to declare a state of emergency and get money to build the wall. A political analyst examines these threats and the attempts during the current negotiations in Congress to deprive immigrant children from Central America of their legal rights. Also, the US is beginning to send Central American asylum seekers back to Mexico while they wait for their case to be heard. What are the ramifications of this policy for the US and for Mexico? On other news, after failing to defeat the challenge in court, Arizona has finally agreed to issue driver’s licenses to DACA recipients and in New York the DREAM Act moves forward in the legislature. These and other stories are discussed in this edition.
Guests: Larry Kleinman, Political Analyst, Radio Program Host, Co-Founder, PCUN, Woodburn, OR; Ariadna Rentería Torres, Immigration Attorney, Executive Director, Immigrant Legal Services of the Central Coast Inc, Watsonville, CA.
