Episode 264 – Can We Fix Our Immigration Policies?

Joining host Jim Falk are three immigration policy experts—David Bier, Associate Director of Immigration Studies at the Cato Institute; Lora Ries, Director of the Heritage Foundation's Border and Immigration Center; and Dany Bahar, Nonresident Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution and Associate Professor at Brown University—to examine America's immigration system, unchanged since 1986. Recorded in 2024, they debate whether the U.S. should expand legal immigration pathways as birth rates decline, how to address unauthorized border crossings, and whether America is losing its competitive edge in attracting skilled workers.
