Chris Hayes: 本期节目探讨了特朗普和拜登政府在移民问题上的政策差异，以及这些政策对边境和合法移民的影响。讨论涵盖了法律移民、边境安全、寻求庇护者以及两届政府采取的不同措施。 Aaron Reichlin-Melnick: 特朗普政府奉行限制性移民政策，旨在减少移民数量，并试图重塑法律移民体系，使其更像20世纪早期，带有民族起源配额和歧视性设计的体系。具体措施包括减少签证签发数量、颁布旅行禁令、削减难民数量以及在边境采取严厉措施，例如家庭分离政策和“零容忍”政策。这些政策并未有效阻止人们前往边境，反而导致了边境过境人数的增加。 拜登政府在边境政策上与特朗普政府并没有太大区别，因为“第42条”一直有效，直到2023年5月才取消。拜登政府取消了特朗普政府的一些政策，例如“留在墨西哥”政策和庇护合作协议，但这些政策在拜登政府上任时已经基本失效。取消“第42条”后，重复过境人数减少，但家庭过境人数增加。拜登政府还与墨西哥达成协议，每月接收3万名委内瑞拉、古巴、海地和尼加拉瓜人，并遣返同等数量的人。 在合法移民方面，拜登政府努力解决特朗普政府造成的积压案件，并增加了对移民机构的资金投入。然而，由于国会自1990年以来没有更新法律移民系统，一些积压案件仍然存在。
