This Week in Immigration

In honor of Black History Month, today's podcast will dive into racial equity in the immigration system and how the Biden administration may or may not be addressing specific issues for Black immigrants today. On this week's episode, Theresa Cardinal Brown hosts special guest Allen Orr, President-Elect of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, for a timely discussion of Black immigrants and the immigration system.

On this week's episode, the team tackles President Joe Biden's immigration agenda: what he's already done, and what he might yet do and whether Congress will go along with him. Host Rachel Iacono is joined by This Week regular Theresa Cardinal Brown, along with two special guests: Laura Hall, Managing Director of BPC Action, and Casey Higgins, a BPC fellow with the immigration project and former policy adviser to Speaker of the House Paul Ryan. The experts unpack the recent slew of immigration executive orders, as well as the White House's plan to introduce a massive reform bill.

On this week's episode, Theresa Cardinal Brown hosted a deep-dive conversation to discuss the roundtables and respective report that looks into how local community leaders viewed the immigration issue being debated nationally. She's joined by Laura Goldberg, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives and Communications at the Center for Houston's Future, Julie Bunczak, Program Manager at the Wisconsin Institute for Public Policy and Service, and Mark Hugo Lopez, Director of Global Migration and Demography Research at Pew Research Center.

On this week's program, we kick off 2021 with Theresa Cardinal Brown hosting a special conversation with BPC Fellow Ruth Wasem. The episode begins with a brief discussion of the violent efforts to disrupt the certification of the Electoral college vote last week. Later, the two immigration experts will provide a rundown of recent "midnight actions" that President Trump has taken in the final few weeks of his administration. They then turn to discussing administrative and legislative options Biden may take to undo such actions during the first months of his presidency.

In light of the violent efforts to disrupt the certification of Electoral College vote last week, we have decided to delay the recording and release of our next podcast episode. We will be resuming our recording schedule this week, so please keep your eye out for our next episode in your podcast feed. You can find Jason Grumet's full statement at bipartisanpolicy.org.
