Immigration Edition.
Vice President Kamala Harris announced nearly one billion in new private sector investment in Central America to support farmers, create textile jobs, and reduce migration. Will the new jobs encourage people to stay? On a related note, in his State of the Union speech, President Biden touted job growth and called for a path to citizenship for Dreamers, TPS recipients, farmworkers and essential workers, and more resources for the border. Finally, immigrants in the Northwest Detention Center recently staged a hunger strike to protest worsening detention conditions and authorities agreed to address the issues. An advocate gives an update.
Guests: Leonel Herrera, Journalist, San Salvador, El Salvador; Maru Mora Villalpando, Community Organizer, Latino Advocacy, Tacoma, WA; Others TBA.
