    “Now We Are Here:” Family Migration through a Child’...

    WORT 89.9FM Madison · “Now We Are Here:” Family Migration through a Child’s Eyes Gabrielle Oliveira (Photo courtesy Harvard University) People come to the United States from other countries for the same reasons anyone moves anywhere: for job opportunities, for a chance to better one’s life, to escape intolerable or unsafe conditions at home.  As the United States government becomes increasingly hostile to migrants – at least migrants who aren’t millionaires – how is that affecting the people who recently came to the U.S. in search of a better life.  Harvard University Associate Professor of Education Gabrielle Oliveira spent several years talking with recent immigrants to the U.S. about their dreams, hopes and fears.  The result is her 2025 book, “Now We Are Here: Family Migration, Children’s Education and Dreams for a Better Life,” out now from Stanford University Press.  Gabrielle Oliveira joined the Monday Buzz on September 7, 2026.

    Let’s Make Wage Theft a Crime

    WORT 89.9FM Madison · Let’s Make Wage Theft A CrimeI Robert Christl (photo courtesy Robert Christl) In Wisconsin, if you steal $3000 from the cash register at a local Walmart, you can expect the police will get a warrant for your arrest, look for you, and make you stand trial in criminal court.  If convicted, you could be looking at a felony charge, with prison time and fines up to $10,000.  If you’re an employer and you steal $3000 in wages from your employees, you’re unlikely to get caught, you’ll face only a civil charge and at worst, you’ll have to pay back the wages, with no penalties or interest.  That inequity has Worker Justice Wisconsin fired up, and they’ve started a campaign to change Wisconsin’s Wage Theft law.  Robert Christl is the Worker Center Program Director for Worker Justice Wisconsin, and he joined Monday Buzz host Brian Standing on Labor Day, September 7, 2026.
