Today on Your Call: How will Deferred Action affect the lives of undocumented youth in the US?

On today's Your Call, we’ll talk about the new program that allows a limited path to employment for immigrant youth.  It is being called the “Dream Act, lite.”  Is this a step towards more comprehensive immigration reform?  Or is it just an election-year strategy to win votes?  Join us at 10am PST or post a comment here. What is the ongoing reality of undocumented people in the US today? It’s Your Call with Holly Kernan, and you.

Guests:

Jose Arreola, outreach manager with Educators for Fair Consideration

Julianne Hing, reporter and blogger for Colorlines.com

Laura Lopez, student legal advocate with Educators for Fair Consideration
