What's missing in the immigration debate
The Indicator from Planet Money - Un pódcast de NPR
Categorías:
Immigration is a top concern among U.S. voters this election cycle. But Zeke Hernandez, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania who studies immigration,thinks politicians and the media aren't giving the public the full story. Too often, he argues, they paint immigrants as objects of pity or fear, when the reality is much more complex — and positive. Today on the show, we look beyond the binary and explore the less talked about ways documented and undocumented immigrants shape the U.S. economy. Zeke's book is called The Truth About Immigration: Why Successful Societies Welcome Newcomers. Related listening: Is the border crisis really a labor market crisis?
