Podcasts about immigration policy

Summary The historic surge of illegal immigration at the U.S. border has overwhelmed the U.S. Border Patrol, the agency charged with detecting and preventing illegal traffic between ports of entry. In this week's episode of Parsing Immigration Policy, Mark Krikorian, the Center's executive director and host of the podcast, discusses this with border security expert […]

Today's guest hosts are Brent J. Cohen and Edwith Theogene, Executive Director and Organizing Director for Generation Progress. They discuss how Congress has had an extremely busy past few weeks, with Democrats in the House and Senate working to pass a few bills of great importance to the country and President Biden's Build Back Better agenda. The budget reconciliation bill—which contains many programs and policy solutions from that agenda—is also something that many in the immigration policy and advocacy spaces have been working on in the hope of securing protections for undocumented people living and working in the U.S. While these efforts have encountered some roadblocks thus far, there is still hope of progress being made on that front—both as part of that bill and beyond. To talk more with Brent and Edwith about efforts to protect undocumented people in the U.S. in recent and coming months, and how people can get involved, they're joined by two expert guests.  They are Nicole Svajlenka, the associate director for research on the Immigration Policy team at the Center for American Progress, and Juliana Macedo do Nascimento, the senior advocacy manager at United We Dream. Generation Progress' website is GenProgress.org and their Twitter handle is @GenProgress. Brent Cohen's Twitter handle is @BrentJCohen and Edwith Theogene's handle is @WhoIsEdwith. The Twitter handle for the Center for American Progress Immigration Policy Team is @CAPimmigration and Nicole Svajlenka's handle is @NSvajlenka.

Summary The Center for Immigration has been following the polling of the immigration issue closely since the election of President Biden. The 2020 presidential campaign was largely devoid of any debate on immigration policy, meaning that very few Americans voted for Joe Biden because of his immigration positions. But polling shows that there has been […]

Summary The “public charge” doctrine – meaning that a person likely to have to be supported by taxpayers (a public charge) should not be permitted to immigrate – is one of the oldest elements of American immigration policy. Colonial Massachusetts enacted the earliest public charge law in 1645, while the first immigration law at the […]

Escucha el informe del corresponsal de SBS Spanish en Centroamérica, Wilfredo Salamanca.

The sprawling U.S. immigration detention system has long been controversial for its conditions of care, number of immigrants and asylum seekers detained, and costs. Prioritizing detention also has distorted the broader immigration enforcement system by causing a backlog in the immigration courts that must handle cases of detained migrants over those of the 3 million-plus nondetained people who then wait years for decisions, including those with compelling claims for asylum and other forms of relief. Responding to these conditions and likely future immigration realities both at U.S. borders and the interior necessitates rethinking the role and nature of the immigration custody system, steering it away from a punitive, detention-centered approach towards a more effective and fair approach. This represents an opportune moment for action given the substantial reduction of individuals in detention due to COVID-19, coupled with the Biden administration's pledge to reimagine the custody system. This discussion focuses on a report - https://bit.ly/2WhJy52 - from its Rethinking U.S. Immigration Policy initiative that examines how the U.S. government can shift from jailers to case managers in ways that serve the national interest. Report authors lay out current conditions and costs in the system, along with their vision for a reimagined immigration custody system, including areas for congressional action and change in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The conversation covers priorities for custody determinations in a redesigned system, alternatives to detention, and how deterrence can ultimately be achieved when the immigration system's border and interior enforcement, custody, supervision, and asylum adjudication measures are all effectively working together.

Summary There is no more important tool for preventing future attacks on U.S. soil than the nation's immigration system.

Summary With the fall of the U.S.-backed government in Kabul, large numbers of Afghans are fleeing the country.

Summary Congress passed the “Magna Carta” of environmental law, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), more than 50 years ago.

Summary Few politicians have studied United States immigration and immigration policies as comprehensively as the late civil-rights icon, the first African American congresswoman to come from the Deep South, and chairwoman of President Clinton’s Commission on Immigration Reform, U.S. Representative Barbara Jordan (TX).

Learn more about Benyamin Chao via https://caimmigrant.org/about/our-staff/benyamin-chao/ Podcast Highlights: “...Immigrants have been excluded from public healthcare systems.” - Benyamin Chao on the topic of unique challenges immigrants face. “My mom would tell me...don't apply for calfresh, don't share your information because it may give you away or be used against you. ” - Benyamin Chao on his personal and family experience under old immigration policies. “If hundreds of thousands or millions of people in California get access to a pathway to citizenship, that also would allow them to qualify for federal safety net programs as well... And I think the fundamental question is who belongs in California? And for me, I believe, that we are slowly helping people see that your immigration status does not affect whether or not you belong.” - Benyamin Chao on his hopes for the future of immigration policy and the discussion surrounding it.

A new report suggests the Durham Report is coming out. According to Intelligence Committee Member Devin Nunes, "some may go to prison." Listen up for details. Meanwhile, a new poll suggests the country is more broken than ever. Nearly 40% of Americans want to succeed.  All this as the politics of the moment heats up -- the head of the Black Caucus, Rep Joyce Beatty, led protestors to the Capitol. She was arrested as a result by Capitol Police. (Didn't the Dems say it was truly horrific to encourage protestors at the Capitol? Why isn't anyone on the left condemning her?)

Summary The 287(g) program, created by Congress to enable trained local officers to work in partnership with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), serves as a force multiplier by taking illegal aliens who have been arrested for state or local crimes off the street.
