Immigration Edition.

Arizona’s Proposition 308 would restore in-state tuition eligibility to undocumented students. In another news, Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar certified that the nearly 50 migrants flown to Martha’s Vineyard were victims of a crime and can now apply for a U visa as protected witnesses. Also, ag industry leaders from Midwest states pushed for immigration reform as a solution to address increasing food prices and farm labor shortages and urged the Senate to take up the Farm Workforce Modernization Act, a bill passed by the House. Finally, community leaders call on the Biden administration to stop plans to continue building the 30-foot walls begun by the Trump administration at Friendship Park, the border area near San Diego where families have gathered to meet across the border for years.

Guests: James Barragan, Politics Reporter, The Texas Tribune, Austin, TX ; Pedro Rios, Director of US/Mexico Border Program, American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), San Diego, CA; Christine Neumann-Ortiz, Executive Director, Voces de la Frontera, Milwaukee, WI (TBC.)
