The Cost of Mass Deportations, with David Bier

In this episode of The Rational Egoist, host Michael Liebowitz speaks with David Bier, research fellow for immigration studies at the Cato Institute, about the economic, social, and moral costs of mass deportations. Bier, an expert on border security, interior enforcement, and legal immigration, examines the logistical challenges and unintended consequences of such policies. He provides a data-driven perspective on how mass deportations affect individuals, communities, and the broader economy. This insightful discussion offers a nuanced view of one of the most contentious topics in immigration policy.

Michael Leibowitz, host of The Rational Egoist podcast, is a philosopher and political activist who draws inspiration from Ayn Rand’s philosophy, advocating for reason, rational self-interest, and individualism. His journey from a 25-year prison sentence to a prominent voice in the libertarian and Objectivist communities highlights the transformative impact of embracing these principles. Leibowitz actively participates in political debates and produces content aimed at promoting individual rights and freedoms. He is the co-author of “Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Correction Encourages Crime” and “View from a Cage: From Convict to Crusader for Liberty,” which explore societal issues and his personal evolution through Rand’s teachings.
