In this episode of The World and Stuff, I sit down with Todd Schulte, President of FWD.us, to tackle the tough questions on immigration.
We discuss why anti-immigrant sentiment is on the rise, the economic impact of immigrants, the politics behind border enforcement, and how both Trump and Biden have shaped U.S. immigration policy.
Todd shares data, context, and personal insights from years of advocacy, while addressing the myths that dominate the national conversation.
Whether you agree or disagree, this is a candid, fact-driven conversation you won’t want to miss.
