Taking the Pulse on Immigration Reform for 2014?
featuring
Oscar Chacon, Ex. Dir., National Alliance of Latin American and Caribbean
Communities Coalition
Will there be immigration policy reform in 2014? The answer, sadly, seems unlikely - at least not the kind of reform that would result in solid, forward-looking public policy. But, having coming to that reality, advocates remain determined and are they are going beyond all the current proposals in Washington and are digging even deeper into the structural problems with our out-dated, isolationist and fundamentally inhumane policy regime around immigrants and immigration. Along with this process, in the short term activists are ramping up their efforts to put a stop to the rampant detentions and deportations that are causing so much pain in immigrant communities and we ll talk about how both fronts are progressing.
