How to make immigration work for America

Hi Everyone and Welcome Back 

This week on The Nick Halaris Show we are featuring immigration policy expert, Jack Malde. Jack is a Senior Policy Analyst at the Bipartisan Policy Center, a think tank dedicated to promoting compromise and political solutions that will improve the lives of Americans. He’s also the co-host of the “This Week In Immigration” podcast, a show that is fast becoming my go-to source for real-time news and in-depth analysis of all the developments and issues of the immigration debate. 

Obviously, immigration is going to be one of the most important and contentious issues of the upcoming election. While these days all eyes are on the border and the situation brewing there, that’s just one piece of the puzzle actually. What we need in America is comprehensive immigration reform and we need it immediately.

I wanted to have Jack on the show to do a deep dive on the question of legal immigration reform. Jack is an expert in this area and, as you’ll see in this episode, has many constructive and compelling ideas about how we could change our immigration system for the better. Tune-in to this episode to learn:

• The nuts and bolts of our current legal immigration framework—the numbers, how it works, and how it doesn’t

• Why legal immigration reform is so crucial for our economy, national security, and international competitiveness

• The unfortunate reasons why we haven’t gotten legal immigration reform in over 30-years despite high-levels of bipartisan support

• Jack’s compelling arguments for not only increasing the raw number of annual visa opportunities but also for shifting the allocations more towards our strategic economic needs &

• Much, much more

Stay tuned to the end to hear how Jack’s upbringing and experiences as a dual UK/US citizen have shaped his views and motivated his lifelong passion and commitment for public service. Jack also introduces a provocative theory about the relationship between economic growth and morality and explains why it motivates his daily work pushing for pro-growth policies in America.

As always, I hope you all enjoy this episode. Thanks for tuning in!
