“Joel Cruz-Esparza has dedicated his professional career as a lawyer to addressing issues affecting immigrants in the United States. An immigrant himself, Cruz-Esparza was born in Torreon, Coahuila, Mexico, and grew up in Mexico City and Los Angeles, California.

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences.” Watch here
