How Did We Get Here?: Jia Lynn Yang

This week, we take a look at what we can learn from our nation’s history around immigration reform that could help shape the future of it.

 

Ali talks to Jia Lynn Yang, deputy national editor at the New York Times and author of One Mighty and Irresistible Tide: The Epic Struggle Over American Immigration, 1924-1965.
