The Trump Administration is making major moves on immigration in America, and much of the rhetoric underlying these moves focuses on undocumented immigration. Is this rhetoric mostly fearmongering? Is the Trump Administration voicing important concerns on public safety and security?

To explore multiple perspectives on this issue, Sam speaks to Jeff and Eric. Jeff, a centrist, understands critiques of Biden-era immigration policies, but also makes points about the importance of an immigrant workforce (including undocumented immigrants) in the LA region. Eric, meanwhile, defends a largely conservative view on the topic. Sam offers a progressive perspective.
