Extra Credit: Echoes of Exclusion: America's Immigration Policy and History


Listen Later

In this incisive and hard-hitting episode, we peel back the layers of America’s complex—and often cruel—approach to immigration. From the scars of the Mexican Repatriation, Operation Wetback, and Japanese internment camps to today’s controversial executive orders, ICE raids, and the symbolic (and expensive) border wall, we trace the disturbing continuity of fear-driven policies.

With biting satire and in-depth analysis, the episode exposes how immigrants—despite paying billions in taxes and building communities—are persistently demonized as threats. We also explore the irony of a nation that touts freedom and opportunity while sidelining those who have long contributed to its prosperity.

Join us as we challenge exclusionary narratives, confront historical injustices, and ask:
