Culture War: Immigration & Labor, Haitians & Mexicans


Listen Later

In Episode 16 of the Decent Ideas Podcast, Terence weaves another undertold narrative, this time of the US history with immigration and labor, focusing on how and when immigrants have been scapegoated from Irish and Italians in the 1840s to Haitians and Mexicans today. The Haitian crisis in Del Rio, Texas serves as the case study, culminating in some prescriptions for immigration woes.

The Decent Ideas Podcast treats societal problems like software problems, except the app under the microscope is our democratic society.
