Immigration Edition.
President Biden announced that immigrants recipients of DACA will be able to get health coverage through Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act if eligible. What to expect from conservative states? A leading “Dreamer” examines the proposed rule. In other news, Florida Gov. DeSantis and the state Legislature, under Republican supermajority, are pushing a package of bills considered the toughest state immigration legislation since SB 1070 more than a decade ago in Arizona. What’s in the plan? What does it mean for the US? Finally, California State Senator Anna Caballero introduced a bill proposing to urge Gov. Newsom to work with the federal government to form a task force that will in turn launch a pilot program to legalize farm workers. How would this pilot program work? How can they advance a permanent residency program for farm workers?
Guest: Yarelyn Trujillo, Legislative Assistant, Office of State. Sen. Anna Caballero, Merced, CA; Denard Vanegas, FWD.US, Phoenixville, PA; Felipe Sousa-Lazaballet, Executive Director, The Hope Community Center, Orlando, FL.
