Joe Biden's Bold Immigration Plan

This segment of FNX NOW is produced in partnership with Ethnic Media Services. Introduced by EMS Director Sandy Close, and moderated by longtime contributing editor Sunita Sohrabji. President Joe Biden released a bold immigration plan, on the eve of his inauguration. He reinstated DACA, rolled back the Trump administration's changes to the asylum process, halted the construction of the border wall, and extended temporary protected status among other policy changes. Biden is also in support for expanding business immigration, and decreasing the Green Card backlog. In this show we hear from Frank Sharry, founder and executive director of America's Voice who aims to provide an overview of the Biden immigration plan. Sharry is joined by Marielena Hincapie, the executive director of the National Immigration Law Center. Marielena will discuss DACA and public charge. And the 3rd guest is Ravi Ragbir who will share his personal story of his struggles with deportation during the Trump administration. Ragbir is the co-founder of the New Sanctuary Coalition.
