From the New World Alex Nowrasteh: Immigration, Its Fans, and Its Haters
02:18:16
Nowrasteh's Immigration Interest
- Alex Nowrasteh became interested in immigration during an internship at the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
- He realized it was an emerging hot topic with few libertarian researchers.
Legal Immigration Decline
- Legal immigration flattened under Trump and the system was shut down during COVID.
- The system's structure makes recovery difficult, with consulates and embassies slow to reopen.
Fragile Immigration System
- The US immigration system is a fragile, linear process, unlike a web-like supply chain.
- Breaking any part of this chain, like closing consulates, shuts down legal immigration.
