  • “President” Trump

It's a combination of factors, including transportation issues, complicated rules, and lack of education regarding the requirements and process for registration.
Beyond the Headlines: Unraveling America's Border Crisis - Truths, Myths, and Solutions
Q: How do you get from the point where people say, immigration is a big issue, it has to be changed to being really hard on people who have come here?
It's a matter of how you communicate the issue, and narratives around immigration create fear because it's unknown.
Beyond the Headlines: Unraveling America's Border Crisis - Truths, Myths, and Solutions
Q: Is there a recipe here where Democrats can gain politically from making these kinds of claims?
I think it's more Republican-led, and both parties agree the immigration policy in the country is completely broken.
Beyond the Headlines: Unraveling America's Border Crisis - Truths, Myths, and Solutions
Q: What's your kind of initial take on why it is that the border became such a potent political issue?
The border has been a potent political issue since forever due to its representation of the division between us and them and how states define their sovereignty.
