Immigration is a perennial hot-button topic in American politics and the broader American culture. In recent years, the debate over whether and how to allow migrants into the United States has taken on new wrinkles. The Trump presidency, the COVID-19 pandemic, and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine are just some of the latest forces to push this controversy into the hottest spots of our national discourse.
Ali Noorani is the CEO of the National Immigration Forum. The first time I met and spoke with Ali, he had just published his first book, “There Goes The Neighborhood: How Communities Overcome Prejudice and Meet the Challenge of American Immigration.” We did an interview for The DADE Podcast, which is no longer around, but which we’ll re-publish in The Liberated Podcast’s feed for anyone who wants to hear that as background.
At the time of this recording, Ali had just published a new book, “Crossing Borders: The Reconciliation of a Nation of Immigrants.”
