As part of President Obama’s executive action on immigration, the Department of Labor (DOL) can now certify applications for U and T visas for several new workplace crimes, including fraud in labor recruitment and extortion. During this program, U and T visa experts will explain what these visas are, who qualifies, and how to identify workplace crimes. They will share information about this little-known component of the executive action and its importance for defending the labor rights of migrant workers in the United States.
Guests: Sonia Parras Konrad, Co-director, ASISTA, Des Moines, Iowa, http://www.asistahelp.org/: Joel Coronado, immigrant who received a U visa after struggling against labor crimes, Seattle, Washington; Dr. Giselle Hass, psychologist and professor at the Georgetown University Center for Applied Legal Studies, Washington, D.C.
