About this listen

Immigrants are vital to American democracy and economic prosperity, especially as population growth among U.S.-born citizens dwindles. In this episode, host Katie Dunn Tenpas speaks with Tara Watson, director of the Center for Economic Security and Opportunity and a senior fellow in Economic Studies at Brookings. Together, they unpack recent immigration policy changes by the Trump administration, from the tightening of pathways to citizenship to the more aggressive deportation agenda, discussing how these changes might affect the number of immigrants coming to the U.S. and their long-term economic consequences.
