Immigration Justice
In sync: Hey girl! This episode of today's podcast is about title 42 and immigration brought to you by Leara and Noelle. John Green graced us with one of my favorite quotes about today's topic. (and it reads) “Nikola Tesla was an immigrant. So were Joseph Pulitzer and Albert Einstein and Igor Stravisky. Rational, compassionate immigration reform is needed so that the next Teslas and Einstein's are not denied access to educational or entrepreneurial opportunities in the United States. The time has come.” Title 42 came about during the Trump era as a result of the covid-19 pandemic. It is a public health policy that allows the border patrol to turn away those who come to the border to seek protection from their country of origin.
Title 42 was enacted under the Trump administration and is set to expire on May 11, 2023. Many Americans desire to see the end of title 42, while others prefer for the policy to remain in place indefinitely. The world is bracing for chaos in the U.S. Mexico border once title 42 has ended. There are several agencies responsible for managing immigration.
The three agencies are: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) which deals with America's border security at ports of entry, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) enforces federal laws governing border control, customs, trade, and immigration, and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is Responsible for benefits for things that are filed within the United states.
Two interesting facts about immigration that we don’t talk about are the fact that: In the US, 5 states have become minority-majority, which means that less than half of the population of that state is non-Hispanic white and the minorities combined have become the majority and by 2026, it is predicted that the government will have a shortage of 20 million workers.
So what Challenges are immigrants facing?

So what Challenges are immigrants facing?
- Language barriers
- Raising children and helping them succeed in school
- Securing a career
- Securing housing
- Transportation
- Cultural barriers

Prison Reform
Prison Reform
Welcome back for another episode of the Hey Girl podcast with your girls, Leara, and Noelle. In our last episode, we talked about immigration. During the conversation it was noted that immigrants are less likely to commit crimes or experience incarceration, unlike American born persons.
The criminalization of immigrants in the US is a common practice which often depicts immigrants as threatening leaving many framed as criminals. Many are arrested and detained indefinitely with no determination of release. Once detained, many are forgotten while awaiting the painfully slow process of deportation.
Today’s topic explores prison reform. Oscar Wilde said “it is not the prisoners that need reformation, it is the prisons.” Mr. Wilde penned this in a letter after his own release from a U.S. prison. This begs the question; with the privatization of U.S. prisons, is reform actually possible? Wilde’s letter explored the cruelties of prison linked to the gross mistreatment of inmates. There are a host of noteworthy issues impacting U.S. prisons today.
Prison reform as a subject has been on the table since the 1950’s, this alone tells us that the process of moving toward change is slow. Why is this? I ponder several questions concerning reform like: are there safe alternatives to prisons and if yes, what are the risks and how would doing so impact the prison systems that we see today? Secondly, what are the costs associated with implementing actual, meaningful reforms? Next, what are the real problems associated with prison reform? And finally, what are the arguments for and against reform?
Noteworthy issues that we believe should be addressed starting, with addressing the complexities of juvenile justice reform; youth delinquency and successful regeneration of youth after incarceration. Basic prison reform for U.S. prison populations seeks to address harsh sentencing, overcrowding, human rights violations, and the ability for prisoners to reinvent themselves through offering education and vocational skills training with the goal of moving prisoners toward successful reintegration once released back into society.
Prison reform is a hot topic not only in the United States but is a global issue that must be confronted on many levels. Each of us has the ability to get involved, the Center for Prison Reform’s website has put together a list of organizations important to the movement. The list can be found by visiting www.centerforprisonreform.org, We encourage you to get involved.
Thank you all for tuning in to another episode of Hey Girl Podcast. Until the next episode!
