Highlights of Biden’s Immigration Bill and Will it Pass?
Angelica Salas from CHIRLA
Join Clark Hill’s Angeline Chen, a leading immigration attorney, in discussing the impacts of US immigration law and policy. On Immigration Today!, Angeline interviews leaders, experts, advocates and volunteers in immigration and immigrant rights on the issues, their experiences and their advice on how YOU can make a difference.

On this episode of the Immigration Today! podcast with Angeline Chen, meet Angelica Salas, the Executive Director of the Coalition of Humane Immigrant Rights also known as CHIRLA. From 1999 to now, she has transformed CHIRLA into one of the nation’s largest and most effective immigrant rights organizations. CHIRLA is a mass membership immigrant-led organization that empowers immigrants and their families to win local, state, and national policies that advance their human, civil, and labor rights. Among her achievements include: winning in-state, financial aid, and grant programs for California’s undocumented students, winning drivers’ licenses for undocumented drivers, decoupling local police departments from immigration enforcement, and winning Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
“When you really think about family separation, just think about your kids and ask, ‘How long could I be away from my children? What would I be willing to risk for them?’ And all of a sudden, the answer is…anything.”
