With the end of Title 42, a law enacted during the pandemic to slow the flow of migrants seeking asylum in the U.S., the Biden Administration finds itself caught between policymakers who say the President is too tough on immigration or not tough enough.

We’ll talk about the current situation at the border and the role that immigration will play in national politics and the presidential election.
