Episode Details

Why do some people support the very laws that could target their own communities? In this clip we get into one of the harder, more honest conversations about immigration in America.

Malcolm and Thomas work through how recent Supreme Court decisions affect the rights of marginalized communities, what's at stake in the debate over birthright citizenship, and a tougher question underneath it all — the idea of "mental elitism" and why some immigrants distance themselves from, or even turn against, others. It's not about easy answers. It's about being willing to sit with the uncomfortable parts of how these laws land and how people respond to them.
