How do we treat undocumented immigrants?

What do laws affecting undocumented immigrants reveal about how they are treated in our society? On the next Your Call, we'll talk about what these laws tell us about how our systems are structured. In California, Governor Jerry Brown passed the Dream Act, which allows undocumented students to apply for financial aid. Alabama recently passed one of the country's harshest sets of anti-immigrant laws. What are implications of these policies? Join us at 10 or email feedback@yourcallradio.org. How do the struggles of undocumented immigrants affect all of us? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar, and you.

Guests:
Julianne Hing, reporter for Colorlines Magazine

Jose Arreola, outreach manager for Educators for Fair Consideration

Victor Palafox, student activist with Alabama Dreamers for the Future
