Donald Trump has made anti-immigration the signature issue of his presidency. Why do anti-immigrant feelings have such resonance among Americans at this point in history? How do current attitudes toward immigrants compare with previous periods of anti-immigrant fervor? And what does this portend for the future? Nancy Foner, Distinguished Professor of Sociology at Hunter College and the CUNY Graduate Center, addresses these questions with “One to One” host Sheryl McCarthy. Dr. Foner has done extensive research comparing immigration today with earlier periods in the United States.
