In this special edition of “After Party,” Emily Jashinsky hosts a debate in collaboration with Young America’s Foundation featuring Scott Jennings, host of “The Scott Jennings Show,” and Ryan Grim, Emily’s co-host at “Breaking Points” and the co-founder of “Drop Site.” The debate opens with the fundamental question: do all immigrants deserve citizenship and what makes an American. Scott and Ryan have a spirited debate over national identity, law, and assimilation. Scott argues citizenship is a rare privilege grounded in loyalty, legal compliance, and American values, while Ryan counters that immigration must be judged pragmatically and that current enforcement has become overly harsh and, in some cases, abusive. The discussion escalates into disputes over ICE enforcement in places like Minnesota. The panel also takes a series of questions from students at The George Washington University on issues including deportation priorities for foreign students and activists like Mahmoud Khalil.. The debate concludes with some agreement on our immigration policies, warnings about civil liberties, and a defense of national self-determination through elections.   Beam: Visit https://shopbeam.com/AFTERPARTY and use code AFTERPARTY to get our exclusive discount of up to 40% off.   Cowboy Colostrum: Get 25% Off Cowboy Colostrum with code AFTERPARTY at https://www.cowboycolostrum.com/AFTERPARTY   Toups & Co: Ready to give Toups a try?
