Today the Supreme Court will consider whether Arizona’s approach to illegal immigration clashes with federal law. If they decide it does, what else will states be able do to address their concerns over illegal immigration? Cecillia Wang thinks there’s already the framework in place for states to limit illegal immigration. Wang is the director of the Immigrants’ Rights Project at the American Civil Liberties Union. She joins us from the Supreme Courthouse in Washington.
Heather MacDonald believes that states should be given more opportunities to protect themselves against illegal immigration. A senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, she’s a co-author of “The Immigration Solution: A Better Plan Than Today’s.”
