'Reconquista'

President Trump is sending a clear message to the world: the American border is closed. Anyone who attempts to enter the U.S. illegally will be arrested and deported. The policy of arresting and deporting illegal immigrants is not new. The Obama administration deported more people than any other president in U.S. history, and President Biden also significantly increased deportations in his final year, as he campaigned for re-election. However, what is new is the United States’ stronger stance on deterring illegal immigration—sending a message that attempts to violate U.S. laws will be futile. How is this new approach being received, and how is it making illegal immigrants feel less comfortable in the U.S.? Additionally, how is it helping to deter future illegal immigration? Join the conversation and get answers to these questions and more on According2Sam episode #281.
