A major topic of news in the past few months, and sure to be an even larger issue in this general election, is immigration policy and the border crisis in the South and spreading across the country. Particularly in right-wing circles, immigration has been in the news and all over social media, and we wanted to spend today talking about our perspective of what’s happened at the border.
This episode will tackle immigration policies under the Trump and Biden administrations, especially as it appears to be a rematch between these two candidates this November. We’ll also chat about sanctuary cities, which have received an influx of undocumented immigrants in recent months; public opinion on the border crisis; and the status of immigration policies in Pennsylvania.
