America’s History of Immigration Restrictions | Agustina Vergara Cid

Podcast audio:

Immigration is one of the most contentious topics on today’s political landscape. But that has always been true throughout America history. Why have immigration restrictions taken hold in America since the nineteenth century? What ideas animate immigration restrictionists, and what explains their success in restricting immigration in the U.S.?

In this talk, Agustina Vergara Cid takes you through the history of the immigration debate in the U.S., uncovers the philosophy behind restrictionists, and points to a solution to bring about more freedom in the U.S.

Recorded live on June 16 in Anaheim, CA as part of OCON 2024.
