On this week’s episode of our podcast, we spoke with our own Frank Sharry, Executive Director of America’s Voice, who joined us to talk about this year’s midterm elections and the GOP’s divide and distract strategy — now being played out nationwide.
Last week, the Trump Administration unveiled a new “public charge” rule, which is likely to hurt immigrant families, including U.S. citizen children. The Washington Post’s Greg Sargent pointed out how deeply unpopular Trump’s immigration ideas are, while voter registration numbers were found to be up, with just weeks to go before this November’s elections. Finally, a memo revealed that DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was lying when she claimed to not know about families being separated.
“A is for America” is a podcast which tells the stories from the front lines of a changing America. Each week, we’ll be talking to advocates and experts working in immigration reform, immigrants’ rights, immigration politics, and the forefront of what it means to be a new American. Tune in next week for more.
