This week on Redirect: Immigration Law & Perspectives, Matthew and I discuss the new asylum "agreement" with Honduras. Acting DHS secretary Chad Wolf was just in Honduras, shaking hands with President Juan Orlando Hernandez, the man who was recently implicated in a massive drug trafficking scheme. You can read about it here: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/18/world/americas/honduras-president-brother-drug-trafficking.html Meanwhile, Jared Kushner, the man who has been tasked with brokering some kind of immigration "solution," thinks that low refugee numbers are no big deal given the scale of the global problem. Kushner's grandparents came here after surviving the holocaust, and our admissions process then was so restrictive they had to lie to get their visas. https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-inc-podcast-listen-to-jared-kushners-family-saga
