Just Ask Jacob – featuring Juan Carlos Cerda, Texas State Director, American Business Immigration Coalition (ABIC)

In this episode, host Jacob M. Monty sits down with Juan Carlos Cerda to discuss how immigration policy affects America's employers, workforce, and economy. Together, they explore ABIC's bipartisan mission to "secure the border and secure the workforce" through practical, common-sense reform. Juan Carlos shares his personal journey as a DACA recipient and how it drives his advocacy for policies that strengthen both immigrant families and U.S. businesses.

Jacob and Juan Carlos also discuss the Omar Salazar case, which Jacob is representing - a powerful example of how broken the current immigration system can be and the real human and economic consequences that result.

The episode also dives into broader challenges like "Driving While Undocumented (DWU)," a term coined by Jacob himself, as well as the Dignity Act, workforce stability, and the path forward for bipartisan immigration reform.

🎧 Tune in for a thoughtful, solutions-driven discussion on immigration reform, business, and the future of America's workforce.
