This edition: The U.S Immigration Debate: American Exceptionalism or Exclusion?

Episode Details

Original tape date: September 25, 2019. First aired: September 30, 2019.

Moderator Bob Liff and a panel of interested observers discuss the ongoing debate over immigration policy in the United States. Does federal decision-making on the millions of undocumented immigrants serve the nation's public interest, or do the policies and postures coming out of the White House and Congress do irreparable harm to US citizens born or naturalized here? Is the policy debate in America keeping pace with the nation's cultural and dinner table debates? Do decisions coming out of Washington and state capitols around the country harm the US economy and the millions of people who want to live, work, and raise their families in a nation built on immigration
and assimilation?
