The Real Reason We Have a Crisis on the Southern Border

Johanna Maska

Mar 19, 2024

Earl Anthony Wayne, who served as United States Ambassador to Mexico during the Obama administration, joins Johanna Maska on this week's episode of Press Advance to discuss immigration policy reform and what's behind the mass migration on the southern border. Ambassador Wayne says that both Presidents Trump and Biden have used executive action to stem the flow of migrants, but it's up to Congress to pass new laws despite the rising polarization stalling the effort. They also discuss what the Obama White House got right, whether the Remain in Mexico policy was effective, and the two women competing to become Mexico's next president.
