Immigration in the United States has long been a contentious issue, marked by debates over border security, economic impact, and social integration. While some argue that immigration is the driving force behind the nation’s growth and cultural diversity, others have concerns over border security, undocumented immigration, and the strain placed on public services. But is immigration itself the problem, or do the problems stem from immigration policies in place? In this episode, join David Bier, director of immigration studies at the Cato Institute, Wendy Edelberg, senior fellow in economic studies at the Brookings Institution, and Simon Hankinson, senior research fellow in the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation as they discuss immigration.
