Maria and Julio discuss Trump’s push for a merit-based immigration plan, after claiming our current legal immigration system is broken. They also talk about Alabama banning abortion outright, following the recent wave of anti-abortion legislation in the country, racial profiling in policing and the dangers of facial recognition technology.

We also say, "nos vemos" to our dear senior producer, Juan Pablo Garnham, who is headed to Texas to report on cities across the state for the Texas Tribune. Gracias por todo, JP! Follow him on Twitter, to keep up with his Texas reporting.
