Jay Chotirmal interviews Data for Social Good's Jose Bedolla and Lisa Garcia Bedolla to learn about the ins and outs of political polling and pollsters, the people behind the polls. As most Americans have experienced, polls aren't always reliable – but it turns out, even inaccurate polls can provide us with important information. Who funds, conducts, and is surveyed for polls can be just as informative. Inclusivity matters when working to pass policies and elect leaders who truly represent all of us.

In today's shot of courage, Courage California's Executive Director, Irene Kao and Angela Chavez discuss the “election fatigue” California voters are feeling – and the importance of getting your votes in (yes, again) by June 7.

Just hours after he was inaugurated, President Joe Biden signaled his intent to prioritize immigration reform: He sent a comprehensive immigration reform bill to Congress that included new protections for children migrating from Central America and an expedited path to citizenship for the millions of immigrants currently in the country without legal status. He also signed a slew of executive orders related to immigration, including a reversal of the travel ban on predominantly Muslim countries, a stop to border wall construction and a 100-day pause on deportations. But he’s not the first president to tackle this complicated and politically charged issue. Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama both tried to overhaul immigration — and failed. How is Biden’s plan different? Thursday, two immigration scholars looked at Biden’s proposals with MPR News host Kerri Miller. Guests: Laura Collins is the director of the Economics Growth Program at the Bush Center. Lisa Garcia Bedolla is the vice provost for graduate studies at the University of California-Berkeley with a research specialty in immigrant political and educational integration in the United States.

Arnold Danzig, co-editor for the March 2012 volume, interviews Lisa Garcia Bedolla, University of California, Berkeley, about her article, "Latino Education, Civic Engagement, and the Public Good."
In 2001, the DREAM Act (Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors) was first introduced in the U.S. Senate. This legislation sought to grant citizenship to current college students and military enlistees brought to the U.S. as dependent children. Numerous versions of the federal DREAM Act have been introduced but failed to win passage. On the state level, similar legislation has passed in states like California (AB 130) in 2011, while Georgia and Alabama have moved to restrict access to institutions of higher education for undocumented students. Recent announcements by President Obama's administration that ""low priority"" undocumented immigrants may not be targeted for deportation signals yet another chapter in this struggle. Our panelists discuss the DREAM Act in the broader historical context and meaning of citizenship and the immigrant experience in the United States. They also examine debates and activism surrounding the DREAM Act as illustrating the conflicting legal, political, and socioeconomic landscape of immigration reform. Featured panelists: Lisa Garcia Bedolla, Associate Professor, Graduate School of Education; Chair, Center for Latino Policy Research, UC Berkeley Kevin Escudero, doctoral student, Department of Ethnic Studies, UC Berkeley Aarti Kohli, Director of Immigration Policy, Chief Justice Earl Warren Institute on Law and Social Policy, UC Berkeley School of Law
