The conversation delves into the implications of the Laken-Riley Act, a proposed immigration bill that would grant local authorities significant powers over immigration enforcement.

The discussion highlights concerns about potential racial profiling, civil rights violations, and the lack of resources for local enforcement.

Sylvia and Kristian advocate for comprehensive immigration reform rather than piecemeal legislation, emphasizing the need for a humane approach that recognizes the contributions of immigrants. They also call for public engagement to oppose the bill and push for better solutions.

Call your Senator at the U.S. Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121, and tell them to vote NO.

This is what you should say:

Hi, I'm a constituent calling from [zip]. My name is ______.

Please vote no on S. 5, the Laken Riley Act. This is NOT a border security bill. It's unconstitutional and puts hardworking immigrants, including DACA-recipients, at risk of indefinite detention and deportation. It will not prevent future tragedies; it will instead make more communities across America less safe while destabilizing those communities and their economies.

Please ask the Senator to oppose it and work to craft legislation that actually addresses our border crisis. Thanks.

[If Democrat, please add:] Please file as many amendments as possible to slow down this bill. And please, at the very least, strip out the provision to empower state attorneys general to sue the federal government. It would almost certainly be exploited by bad actors. Thanks.

Today's guest, Kristian Ramos, is a national thought leader in media and politics. He has published media analysis with MIT's Media Lab and provided his media advocacy expertise to the Harvard Shorenstein Center. He is a known writer and contributor to NBC News, The Atlantic, Newsweek, The Washington Post, The Hill, and political commentary for The New York Times, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, Sirius XM Radio, and NPR.
He was honored to be chosen as a 40 under 40: Latinos in American Politics by the Huffington Post, and serves on the Millennial Action Project Young Leaders Council.
