Episode notes

Faye, an art gallery associate director, takes an immigration quiz by business professor Zeke Hernandez, discussing statistics, stereotypes, and the lived experiences of immigrants. The chapter delves into misconceptions, nuances, and the importance of understanding personal backgrounds in the immigration discourse.

The political debates over immigration can generate a lot of fuzzy facts. We wanted to test Americans’ knowledge — so, to wrap up our special series on immigration, we called some Freakonomics Radio listeners and quizzed them.
