Description

Tim Miller talks with Cato’s David Bier about his viral clash with Senator John Kennedy—and what the exchange reveals about today’s immigration debate. They discuss the data on immigrants and the economy, the gap between rhetoric and actual policy, mass deportation proposals, visa bans affecting families, and how enforcement tactics are impacting both immigrants and U.S. citizens.

I would consider it a badge of honor to induce Senator Kennedy's gag reflex. Good work Mr. Bier.

We should NEVER privatize government services, private companies don’t need to make profits off government services.

They pretend it's about money. It's about selfishness and hate.

I disagree with privatizing TSA. All private corporations care about is profit. They care about nothing else.

That tweet by DHS is disgusting. Glad he daylighted it.

2 years ago my brother married a woman from Brazil. They’ve been trying for two years to get her up here legally. They were about 2-3 months away from being able to be together and finalizing all this immigration stuff when Trump pulled all Visas from Brazil. My brother is devastated. He’s put thousands upon thousands of dollars into this process. Even when you try to do things right you get screwed. It’s so wrong. I’m just so angry about everything.

I’m pissed that a year has passed and children have been detained and NOW they pretend that “bad” guys are “out there”. It’s a shame to boast for profit prisons
