Transcript

In this episode, we explore the moral tension surrounding illegal immigration in the United States. We discuss:

  • The ethical implications of deporting people who have built lives in America

  • The disparity in moral outrage between the fates of legal and illegal immigrants

  • The selection effects of illegal immigration

  • The fiscal impact of unauthorized immigrants

  • The need for democratic consensus on immigration policy versus circumventing laws

  • How the perception of border control affects the ability to have rational immigration policy discussions?
