Stephanie Peñate joins me yet again again because I am not done discussing US immigration. Even though we talked a while, mostly me ranting, I feel like there’s still so much more to discuss regarding the US immigration system, so be prepared to hear more about it in the future. What we did talk about: Steph’s experience as a child of immigrants, the challenges migrants face when trying to legally or illegally enter the country, the ways in which the system encourages and discourages certain behaviors, James Q. Whitman’s Hitler’s American Model and how the Nazi regime admired and was inspired by US race law, the remnants of the US’ eugenicist policies today, the medical exam all Green Card applicants have to go through, why migrants would turn to crime, labor shortages, and much more.
Ever the selfless person, Steph promoted two different causes instead of their own social media, so here are links to those:
All Power Book Club
Border Kindness
I highly suggest listening to episode 275 before listening to this one.
