In Focus SoCal: College success; immigration

Also, in this week's episode, McRae sits down with Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove to discuss various issues, including immigration. She co-chairs the Congressional Caucus on Global Migration, aiming to reframe the country's immigration debate. "They are fleeing because of ethnic cleansing, conflict, religious persecution and poverty, and so we have to kind of talk about these root causes," Kamlager-Dove said. Kamlager-Dove also discussed Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's visit to LA this summer to celebrate $140 million in funding for her district's Removing Barriers and Creating Legacy project. The money will be used to help reconnect communities that lack safe, affordable and accessible transportation options. "That money will also help to make sure that, you know, pedestrians, that cyclists and that the elderly and the sick and the disabled will have greater access to public transportation," said Kamlager-Dove.
