Has the time come for immigration reform?

• U.S. Representative Linda Sanchez (D CA 38th, parts of LA and Orange Counties), House sponsor of the bill; then
• Sergio Gonzales, executive director Immigration Hub, former policy aide to then-Senator Kamala Harris, who helped draft the 2013 immigration reform package as a staffer for "Gang of Eight" member, Colorado Senator Michael Bennet.

President Biden has said his administration's four priorities will be:

• COVID-19
• Economic Recovery
• Racial Equity
• Climate Change

President Biden has big plans for economic recovery, from the 1.9 trillion-dollar COVID relief package to green jobs creation, and polls show most Americans approve, but his plans face skepticism from deficit hawks and workers in the fossil fuel industry. 

What do you need from Washington for your own economic recovery from the pandemic's disruptions?  

This week, Brian is joined by:  

U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth (D KY 3rd, Louisville), chair of the House Budget Committee; 
then William Spriggs, Howard University economics professor, chief economist to the AFL-CIO, U.S. Assistant Secretary of Labor for Policy (2009-2012) and Thea Lee, president of the Economic Policy Institute
