In this compelling episode, Mark Krikorian from the Center for Immigration Studies joins us for the second installment of our four-part series on legal and illegal immigration. As a nationally recognized expert, Mark dives deep into the complexities of U.S. immigration policy, exploring its impact on American workers, housing affordability, public safety, and the economy. From the controversial Optional Practical Training (OPT) program to the effects of mass immigration under the Biden administration, this discussion uncovers critical insights you won’t find in mainstream narratives. We also tackle hot topics like E-Verify, sanctuary cities, and refugee resettlement—plus, Mark shares his bold take on why current policies might be doing more harm than good.
