The Daily: On the Ballot: An Immigration System Most Americans Never Wanted

Earlier this week, The Daily, which now requires a subscription, looks at how voters are thinking about the immigration system.  Here is the description of the episode:

"If Donald J. Trump wins next week’s election, it will be in large part because voters embraced his message that the U.S. immigration system is broken.

David Leonhardt, a senior writer at The New York Times, tells the surprising story of how that system came to be."

In my estimation, Leonhardt fails to get it all right but the episode does describe some of the big picture developments in immigration law and policy.  Read the transcript for yourself:  Download Transcript of 10-29-24 Barbaro Daily NYT on immigration.
