Episode Details

On this Heard Tell Good Talks, our guest today is Daniel Chang Contreras who helps us turn down the very loud stories of Martha's Vineyard and other high-profile stunts involving immigrants to get to the people that are actually being moved around here. Daniel and host Andrew talk about the Venezuelanian aspect of this story, why this facet of immigration crisis was very predictable, the legal and moral importance and differences in being asylum seekers, and why this specific people group is being used for such stunts. Daniel also talks about the inherent problems in the immigration system from policy, to law, to incoherent messaging that is the root problems before you get to issues like the southern border, sanctuary cities, and governor's looking to raise their national profiles off the issue. Daniel also talks about how there are some on the right who love to point out the evils of authoritarian communism, but are starting to run the same old playbook of stereotypes and smeers again the actual victims of those regimes like the Venezuelan asylum seekers.
