Episode 133: The Impact of Immigration on Midterms and What May Happen Next

This Week in Immigration

In this week’s episode, we’re breaking down the midterms, and what they might mean for the issue of immigration. Theresa Cardinal Brown is joined by Laura Hall, the managing director of BPC Action, and Casey Christine Higgins, Senior Counsel at Akin Gump to chat about how the issue of immigration played in the midterms, what the election might signal about lame duck legislation on immigration, and how the next Congress might approach immigration. The episode was recorded on Wednesday, November 9, before all the races had been called, so we explored multiple different scenarios of House and Senate control and their impact on possible immigration legislation.
