TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8.
PROGRAM # 7604 12:00 PM PT
Pro-immigrant Package.
California’s legislature has passed several pro-immigrant bills, including one to protect immigrant crime victims against the threat of deportation and another one, signed by Gov. Brown, to remove the term “alien” from the state labor code. An effort seeking a federal waiver to allow the undocumented to buy insurance plans in California’s market exchange was shelved. This program also looks into the politics of Central Valley legislators who are stalling landmark climate change bills claiming they will harm their middle class constituencies.
Guest: Araceli Martinez, Reporter/Commentator, Los Angeles; State Senate President Pro Tempore Kevin de León (audio segments), Sacramento, CA.
