America Are We Ready for the First 100 Days?: Immigration Reform

WNYC News | Feb 23, 2021

Airing LIVE Thursday, February 25th, 8-9pm ET.

Join the national conversation with host Brian Lehrer as the Biden/Harris administration starts its work. 

President Biden's plan for comprehensive immigration reform, The United States Citizenship Act of 2021, is in Congress for consideration and goes beyond the eight-year path to citizenship for Dreamers that has gotten the most attention. 

Has the time come for immigration reform?

This week, Brian is joined by:

  • U.S. Representative Linda Sanchez (D CA 38th, parts of LA and Orange Counties), House sponsor of the bill; then
  • Sergio Gonzales, executive director Immigration Hub, former policy aide to then-Senator Kamala Harris, who helped draft the 2013 immigration reform package as a staffer for "Gang of Eight" member, Colorado Senator Michael Bennet.

Join the conversation at 844-745-TALK (8255)!
