Prowler is a Twitter poster known for his informed immigration analysis. He joins me for a broad discussion on Trump’s second-term immigration policy.
To begin, Prowler recounts his origin story. I ask why how he came to focus on immigration. We then talk about Trump’s first-term track record. I ask Prowler what grade he would give the second Trump administration on immigration. We discuss the border wall, mass deportations, and other immigration-related policy items. Toward the end of the first half, we consider the differences in the approaches taken by Kristi Noem and Markwayne Mullin. Was Operation Metro Surge a failure?
In the second half of the show (available to subscribers), we talk about Operation Wetback for a bit. Prowler outlines the obstacles to carrying out mass deportations. Next, we switch gears to discuss legal immigration. We cover the many ways in which Trump has reduced legal immigration. Prowler argues that this is a rug pull – for immigrants, who didn’t expect Trump to crack down on legal immigration at all. Toward the end of the show, we talk about the state of the Republican Party. What, if anything, has the GOP done for white men – particularly young white men – in recent years? Tune in to find out.
