Immigration Edition.

During the North American Leaders’ Summit, the leaders of the US, Mexico and Canada talked about “their commitment to work together to achieve safe, orderly, and humane migration in the region.” What new migration measures are expected at the US-Mexican border? What to expect about the agreement to fight against migrant discrimination? Also, another Mexican journalist is seeking asylum in the US, alleging he was kidnapped and tortured by Mexican security agents. His attorney talks about how the current system was unable to protect the journalist. Also, a group of evangelical faith leaders sent a letter to President Biden and Congress Tuesday to call for bipartisan congressional action to address the crisis at the border. A top Christian leader talks about the letter and the Republican efforts to open an impeachment process against DHS director Alejandro Mayorkas.

Guest: Gabriel Salguero, President, National Latino Evangelical Coalition, Orlando, FL; Dr. Leticia Calderón Chelius, Professor, Social Researcher, Instituto Mora, Mexico City; Carlos Spector-Calderón, Attorney, Expert on Political Asylum, Advisor for Mexicanos en el Exilio, El Paso, TX.
