    The Problem with the "Anti-Immigration" Movement in the United States
    Jan 10 2026

    In this episode of The Problems of Our World, host Azomali Obisakin sits down with her mother, Katya Zepeda, for a powerful intergenerational conversation about anti-immigration rhetoric and its real human impact. Together, they examine how fear-based narratives scapegoat immigrant communities, distort economic realities, and place emotional burdens on children and families—especially those from mixed-status households. Drawing on lived experience, history, and cultural memory, the discussion reframes immigration as a story of contribution, resilience, and shared responsibility, calling listeners to replace stereotypes with listening, reflection, and action.
