LAist/KPCC spoke with some of our most trusted immigration experts this week: … Here's

a professor of political science and Chicano-Latino Studies at UC Irvine. … "I think
the administration has signaled that they're willing to look at different pieces of
the bill, as long as they get what the core of what they want," DeSipio explained,
"which is a more streamlined legal immigration system, and a way to address the large
number of undocumented immigrants who have been present in the United States for a
long, long time."
