NPR interview :The Debate on Merit-Based vs. Family Unification Immigration

[journadian 13]

NPR has been doing some great talks on immigration /daca/dreamers giving people a forum to share their thoughts and experiences.  I was listening to this segment yesterday and thought of this forum since they are interviewing a guy who is the director of research at the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) and has worked in the USCIS.

A lot of what he says is worrisome but thankfully there was someone else telling him what is reality.  They talk about the various types of immigration and what immigrants are going though living in usa.  It's an interesting listen.

It is interesting to listen. 

 

I am only 20 minutes in but it is interesting because one argument seems to be based on emotional statements ("beacon of hope" or "keeping the american dream alive") and the other side seems to be focused on rationale arguments.
