Since 2016, Donald Trump’s “America First” doctrine has reshaped U.S. immigration policy and ignited global discussions on borders, sovereignty, and national security. From the travel ban to family separation policies and enhanced border enforcement, his administration set a new precedent for nationalism and protectionism in immigration policy.

As Trump campaigns for another term, the long-term effects of these policies remain a key issue. How have they shaped U.S. foreign relations, migration trends, and the future of immigration policy? What are the economic, political, and social consequences of tightening border restrictions?

This week on Beyond the Headlines, we examine these critical questions with Professor Renan Levine, an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto specializing in American politics. He discusses the political motivations behind Trump’s immigration policies and their implications for the 2024 election.

In addition, Professor Leah Montange, a human geographer and migration expert, will provide insight into how Trump’s border policies have affected migrants, asylum seekers, and the broader discourse on immigration enforcement.

Join us for an in-depth conversation on the impact of Trump’s immigration policies and their role in shaping global migration and border governance. Now airing on CIUT 89.5FM and available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and our website.
