Episode 7. America's Hidden Immigration Consensus—Who Do We Really Want?

Ever wondered if there's actually a hidden consensus about immigration among Americans? In this episode, we explore Jens Hainmueller and Daniel J. Hopkins' groundbreaking paper, "The Hidden American Immigration Consensus," revealing surprising insights about American preferences on who should be admitted as immigrants.

We simplify complex academic findings into accessible discussions, uncovering which immigrant attributes—like education, language ability, job status, and country of origin—most influence public attitudes. Is America really as divided on immigration as media suggests, or is there underlying common ground?
