New Nativists, Lonely Doctors, Baseball Cards

The Money That Helped Sow the Seeds of President Trump’s Immigration Agenda Guest: Nicholas Kulish, Investigative Reporter, New York Times, “The New Nativists” Series Restricting both legal and illegal immigration to the United States has become a hallmark of the Trump Administration’s policies–and will be central to the President’s re-election campaign.
