Monday Draft Questions 6/1 - Zahra McKee

• In terms of coronavirus relief, the government has fallen short in many places, especially regarding undocumented immigrants, causing individuals and nonprofits to pick up the slack. How does this reflect the public support for undocumented immigrants versus the government's historical oppression of them?
• In Why COVID-19 is hitting Washington Latinos especially hard, Dr. Julian Perez is quoted saying “Everyone is afraid that if they take any help whatsoever, it’ll count against them on the public charge, and they won’t be able to apply for citizenship”. Do you think an applicant's reliance on aid should be a factor in immigration decisions?
• How does radio broadcasting help address the undocumented immigrant community where there may be a language or literacy barrier for other media forms?
• Insurance status was a main reason for many low-income, minority, and undocumented people not being tested for the coronavirus early on. Do you believe health insurance is a human right and if so, how should the US government provide it for undocumented immigrants?
