We look at new polling that show that 80% of all Americans support a legalization program, and that same pool shows that 78% of republicans think Immigration is more critical an issue than foreign interference in our elections! We also chat about several lawsuits challenging USCIS Acting Director Cuccinelli's job, and the H-1B lottery. And, we take a quick look at the ICE agents now firing weapons at "fugitives."

Today's Podcast takes a super deep dive into the new regulations on Public Charge and Public Benefits that will become effective on October 15, 2019.

Oh, and Emma Lazarus is rolling over in her grave.

We spend some time talking about the least qualified head of immigration in our history. Finally, we do a deep dive on the new proposed Asylum Regulation changes, barring asylum seekers from the US who present at the border, and why that regulation is illegal.

With my co-host Laura Rosmarin, we take a deep dive today on the Pew Religious Survey showing that White Evangelicals are the LEAST likely to support refugees (shocking?).
