  • Disappointing

    I am extremely disappointed. I was hoping this podcast would offer solutions to immigration problems. Instead I was left feeling disgusted and disheartened. I hope in the future they consider interviewing immigration attorneys and immigrants to get a different side of the story, and consider the positive impact that immigration brings to the United States.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Immigration Has Become France’s Defining Political Issue
Q: What's the basic sketch of the immigration situation in France today?
France now has about a quarter of the population with immigrant background across two generations, with a large share of non-European origin, a record high for African immigration, and significant differences in integration and fertility trends compared to native French values.
Australia’s Immigration Debate Is Reshaping Its Politics
Q: What are the actual specific issues in the agenda that Pauline Hanson or One Nation would want to change?
One Nation aims to drastically reduce immigration, cap net immigration at a negative level, reform international student and visa programs (notably vet colleges), and push for policies that address housing and public service pressures, while challenging multiculturalism and advocating a closer alignment with traditional Australian cultural norms.
Australia’s Immigration Debate Is Reshaping Its Politics
Q: So what's going on in Australia with regard to immigration?
Jordan Knight outlines that Australia faced a surge in immigration under a Labor government, leading to social and housing pressures, and notes the rise of Pauline Hanson and One Nation as a major political force pushing for reduced immigration and policy reform, including net negative immigration and caps on international students and visas.
Work Permits and Executive Authority in the Immigration System
Q: What's the story with this particular regulation that's before us now?
Liz Jacobs explains that the Asylum EAD rule would change eligibility rules, extending waiting periods and pausing EAD applications when asylum processing times pass a threshold, aiming to curb backlogs and reduce incentives for fraudulent asylum claims.
Birthright Citizenship Analysis Ahead of Supreme Court Decision
Q: Why is the current interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment that children born to illegal aliens and visitors are automatically citizens?
Epstein explains that the text should be read in context of the Naturalization Act and the background of who could become a citizen, arguing that birthright citizenship as commonly understood did not originate from the 14th Amendment itself but from a broader, historical framework that distinguished citizenship from birth within federal jurisdiction.
