from The Hypothesis · host 128596915
Is it true that U.S. borders were wide open, leading to a historic crisis? This podcast cuts through the political noise to deliver an evidence-based look at what really happened at the southern border from 2021 to 2024. We dissect the actual policies—from the restrictive Title 42 expulsions to new asylum bans—and unpack why the record-high "encounter" numbers are misleading. Join us as we explore the true drivers of migration, putting a human face on the global crises that pushed millions to our doorstep, and separate fact from fiction in one of America's most divisive debates.
