Part 1:
We talk with Francesca D'Annunzio, who is a Roy W. Howard Investigative Reporting Fellow at the Texas Observer.
We discuss the importance of undocumented people to the economy of Texas. Why are business leaders so silent on on such an important issue? 40-50% of workers in many sectors are undocumented in Texas. What would be the cost of deportation? What would be the effect on mixed-status families?
Part 2:
We talk with Rafael Martinez, Asst. Professor of Southwest Borderlands at Arizona State University.
We discuss the lives and plight of undocumented persons from their perspective. Prof. Martinez DACA status, and works with students and others who do not, but are living in the US. Since 2016, there has been no access to DACA for persons who have migrated as children. They are criminalized, not by their own actions. We talk about what recourse they may have.
