Nationally, immigration is a contentious issue. But behind the politics are real people — undocumented immigrants worried about a crackdown, Latino families dealing with racism and long-time residents watching their hometowns change. Grapple, a new podcast from Keystone Crossroads, introduces us to some of the people grappling with immigration issues across the state of Pennsylvania.

If you enjoyed this episode of Grapple, and want to learn more, join Keystone Crossroads reporter Eleanor Klibanoff for a listening party and discussion at Webster’s Bookstore in downtown State College on Monday at 6pm.
