Summary

Real immigration reform has languished under President Biden, and Kamala Harris could offer a new path but will she? Democrats have a pretty awful track record on standing up for immigrants, undocumented or otherwise, while the right has been busy dragged the whole issue to the right. They've built a whole fantastical infrastructure of lies about migrants: Eating cats and dogs, taking over buildings, bringing crime and using resources. Sadly, there hasn't been any countervailing narrative to push back against this demonization. Jacinta Gonzalez, policy director for the Latinx-led organization Mijente, joins Francesca to assess Kamala Harris' immigration stances and how to fight the right while pushing the left.
