Tonight’s theme episode of The
Independents (Fox Business Network, 9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. PT,
with re-airs three and five hours later) is dedicated to the
always-contentious issue of immigration, legal and illegal.
Kicking off the show is a debate on the economics of
immigration, between Dan Stein,
president of the Federation of American Immigration Reform, and
Tamar Jacoby,
president of ImmigrationWorks USA. Then Kennedy goes to the border
to inspect the fence between Mexico and the United States. Erika
Andiola, an immigration activist who was brought to the U.S.
illegally and remains undocumented, then talks about her family’s
experiences and the Obama administration’s inconsistent record on
deportation.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio last year was named one of Reason’s 45
Enemies of Freedom in part for his hysterical ongoing
crackdowns against suspected illegal immigrants. He’ll be on the
show to talk about the
ongoing crisis of illegal children being dumped in camps near
the border, his approach toward law enforcement compared to that of
law enforcement in states like Texas. Eric Liu, founding CEO of
Citizens
University and author of
A Chinaman’s Chance: One Family’s Journey and the Chinese American
Dream, comes on to talk about the Chinese- and
Asian-American immigration experience (did you know, for example,
that Asians now outnumber Hispanics in annual immigration to the
U.S.?).
Longtime reform backer Grover Norquist will give
the current lay of the legislative land on comprehensive
immigration reform. And Kmele Foster will detail his philosophical
framework for approaching the immigration question.
