TUESDAY, AUGUST 31
PROGRAM # 9365 12:00 PM PDT
Immigration Edition.
As Congress works on the budget plan, a legal expert analyzes the impact of immigration reform on the US GDP, jobs, wages, federal revenues and the budget, a precondition to be included in the budget reconciliation process. She also comments on the news about the risks of a DHS computer program that scans the records of millions of immigrants and can strip naturalized people of citizensip and deport them under national security or public safety grounds. In more news: New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed into law legislation that prohibits the state from entering into or renewing local and private contracts with ICE, marking a momentous victory in the movement to end the detention of immigrants. An advocate for detainees comments on this story and on grassroots efforts in Washington state to ensure Covid testing for all those people at risk of Covid exposure in detention centers and other ICE facilities.
Guests: Ariadna Renteria Torres, Executive Director/Immigration Attorney, Immigrant Legal Services of the Central Coast Inc, Watsonville, CA; Maru Mora Villalpando, Organizer, Latino Advocacy, La Resistencia, Seattle, WA
