Alex Nowrasteh: Breaking Down Biden's Day One Immigration Proposal (Amnesty, the Border, & More)

Listen Later

President Biden has made immigration one of his first policy priorities, introducing a sweeping policy plan on his very first day in office. Cato Institute Director of Immigration Studies Alex Nowrasteh joins the show to break it down.

How many millions of illegal immigrants could receive amnesty under Biden's plan? What impact would this have on the economy? Could it cause a rush on the border? What changes would Biden's plan make to legal immigration? Does it do anything to promote border security? What are the political odds this package gets passed in its current form?

We discuss all this and more. Plus, Alex goes off about the one popular food he can't stand.
