In this episode of the Cornell Keynotes podcast, Marielena Hincapié, Distinguished Immigration Fellow and Visiting Scholar at Cornell Law School, interviews Jonathan Blitzer, staff writer at The New Yorker and immigration expert, on his recently published book Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here: The United States, Central America, and the Making of a Crisis. They discuss how the politics and policy of immigration in the United States have been forged from the 1980s to the present, offering a look at living history, told through individuals from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras who’ve had to risk everything to save themselves and those around them.
