An Immigration Plan for the Climate Change Era
Deepak Bhargava has a big idea: America should live up to the best parts of our national identity and become the most welcoming country on Earth for immigrants and refugees.
To do that, and counter broader authoritarian appeals, we need a new narrative that’s rooted in progressive values and responsive to the threat of climate change.
On this week’s episode of How to Save a Country, Bhargava talks with hosts Felicia Wong and Michael Tomasky about what that new narrative could look like, the moral and economic imperatives behind a progressive vision for immigration, and the kind of civil society movement we need to see it through.
“There are millions and millions of people in this country who would participate in its renewal, who would participate in this fight if they are asked,” he says. “We can win this.”
