From the controversial Optional Practical Training (OPT) program to the effects of mass immigration under the Biden administration, this discussion uncovers critical insights you won’t find in mainstream narratives. We also tackle hot topics like E-Verify, sanctuary cities, and refugee resettlement—plus, Mark shares his bold take on why current policies might be doing more harm than good.
