Beto O'Rourke is running for US Senate against Senator Ted Cruz. Check out my interview with him at the Texas Tribune Festival. We discussed healthcare, education, Islamaphobia and his refusal to accept PAC money instead utilizing a grassroots campaign.

DACA- the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals was implemented by the Obama Administration through executive order in 2012. The children impacted by this order are called DREAMERS.

Last week President Trump repealed this executive order and instead put pressure on Congress to pass some type of legislation dealing with the Dreamers. Majority of people believe only the Latino population is impacted by this but this is false, several South Asians will also be impacted.

We wanted our listeners to understand the detrimental impact DACA will have on our community and Saba Nafees was kind enough to volunteer her story. Tune in to listen to Saba Nafees, who shares her personal story of how the repeal of DACA directly impacts her.

Tune in to hear how some of the politicians in Texas want to cut property taxes without addressing the impact it will have on the Texas Public Education System.
