Biden’s New Immigration Actions Explained

TUESDAY, JULY 2

PROGRAM #10425 12:00 PM PT

Immigration Edition. An immigration law expert answers common questions about the executive actions recently announced by President Biden to safeguard immigrant spouses of U.S. citizens from deportation, grant them work authorization, and clear a path to citizenship. A second initiative would fast-track work visas for some DACA recipients and Dreamers. On other news, immigrant advocates are releasing a report calling attention to the rising number of migrant deaths along the border due to Texas’ Operation Lone Star and Biden’s executive order curtailing the crossing of asylum seekers.

Guests: Alma Rosa Nieto, Immigration Law Attorney, American Immigration Lawyers Association, Los Angeles, CA; US Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., Washington, DC; Alan Lizárraga, Communications Coordinator, Border Network for Human Rights-BNHR, El Paso, TX.
