Messy Borders: Human Trafficking, Exploitation, and Bold Reforms
Manage episode 496458050 series 3637705
America's immigration system is messy, conflicted, and discombobulated—fueled by exploitation and political instability. Hosts Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley explore human trafficking hubs far from borders, presidential influence on policies, and congressional insider trading profiting off detention centers. Guests Audrey Medina and Jerry Valerio share hypothetical emigration choices and advocate for state-level decisions, term limits, and ethical public service to break cycles of corruption. This episode demands accountability and reciprocity to transform chaos into human-centered solutions.
