A fair and informative discussion on immigration

I listened to a few episodes and I am really impressed how fair and knowledgeable the guests are and how fair the discussion and host are. But it’s not just about being fair, it’s about being informative and this podcast is just that. I really hope our elected leaders genuinely concerned about immigration listen to this podcast

No credence to transparent lie

Why would anyone believe that the Trump Administration wants to protect asylum applicants from Mexico by sending them to Guatemala? Do they send Guatemalans to Mexico? Hondurans to Nicaragua? They do not.
