In his latest podcast, Malcolm Gladwell uses his platform to make an important point about the latest immigration crackdown that has the Trump administration separating immigration children from their parents as a means of deterring illegal immigration.
Ā In podcast titled General Chapmanās Last Stand, Gladwell explains just how we got to this point in American history, where a large part of the population (mostly called Trump supporters) believe there is a serious immigration issue along the southern border and that strict (or biblical) enforcement is the only solution. Not only does Gladwell tells us how got we got to a policy of separating immigrant families, he also illustrates the solution to the āproblemā created the problem in the first place. Everyone on both sides of the debate should listen to this podcast. It puts all the recent developments in this debate into sharp focus.
Though you canāt tell from the title, the episode is about illegal Mexican immigration into the US. The immigration of Mexicans into the US has been extensively studied through a Princeton project called the Mexican Migration Project. The data from this project shows how the pattern has changed from ācircular migrationā, where the migrants come to the US to find work, but ultimately go back to Mexico because that is where their family roots are. Because of circular migration, the net immigration into the US was low.
This migration pattern changed, Gladwell argues, because of Commandant Leonard Chapman, retired from the Marines Corp, who made his mission to enforce the border regulations. Because crossing the border became so difficult, circular migration stopped. If you managed to cross the border, you didnāt return to your family. You couldnāt be sure you would be able to cross the border again, so you stayed and send for your family to join you. You became a permanent illegal immigrant, instead of a temporary one. And your children became todayās dreamers.
Chapman also made it his mission to convince us that we had an immigration problem. Before he became head of the Immigration and Naturalization Service in 1972, very few Americans thought we had an immigration issue. By the time he retired in 1977, the majority believed that immigration was a problem. Chapman was so good at his job, that he convinced us that good walls make good neighbors. But the data suggestions otherwise, at least when it comes to illegal immigration from Mexico, which is what Malcolmās Gladwellās latest podcast eloquently points out.

Border patrols backfire
By Alex Nowrasteh ā President Obamaās recent request for billions of dollars to address the surge in unaccompanied children across the U.S.-Mexico border has ignited fierce criticism. Republicans such as Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas blame Obamaās supposedly lax enforcement policies. Democrats blame the surge on a humanitarian crisis in Central America.
