Summary

In this episode, Tom and Producer Drew guide listeners through the complex maze of the US immigration debate using the recent high-profile case of Senator Chris Van Hollen’s trip to El Salvador. Tom and Drew analyze Supreme Court rulings, break down the spin from both sides of the aisle, and explore the larger implications these decisions have for American governance. They set the scene for why the legalities behind hot-button political issues demand a closer reading, not just reliance on headlines.
