More Jobs, New Laws, and a Debate: This Week in Social Media

on in Social Media
  1. This week in social media saw lots of legal and policy activity as Governor Brown of the nation’s largest state weighed in on several important immigration laws. He vetoed the TRUST Act we urged him to sign, but signed a bill authorizing Deferred-Action immigrant youth to apply for driver’s licenses.

    Too many Latinos can’t naturalize simply because they can’t afford the fees! We’re working to change that. #LATISM http://bit.ly/O0xIlh
