Current Issues in Immigration Law

Broadcast date: 7/9/2015

An overwhelming 90 percentof California voters support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. So where is California and the nation headed with comprehensive immigration reform?

While a number of important immigration-related laws have been passed and proposed this past year, many challenges still remain for the more than 1.5 million immigrants across the state.  Since the implementation of President Obama’s recent executive action deferring deportation, what has been the local impact on the Central Coast?

Join host Kris Kington-Barker as she speaks with Kevin C. Gregg, Immigration Attorney, Hazel Davalos, Organizing Director with CAUSE(Central Coast Alliance for a Sustainable Economy) and President of the Latino Outreach Council, Jacqueline del Valle Vitti Frederick, Attorney. They will be discussing the legal perspectives of immigration reform policies and campaigns for immigrant rights and integration.

Central Coast Voices is sponsored by ACTION for Healthy Communities in collaboration with KCBX and made possible through underwriting by Joan Gellert-Sargen.

Kris Kington-Barker is co-host of Central Coast Voices, heard every Thursday on KCBX from 1:00—12:00 p.m. Kris has worked in healthcare fields ranging from mental health to hospital administration, and has served as a volunteer and board member for many Central Coast non-profit organizations.
