Immigration Policy As Defense Policy

Listen to this episode commercial free at https://angryplanetpod.com


Special for our international listeners, did you know you can now buy a pathway to U.S. citizenship for the low, low price of $5 million sent directly to the U.S. treasury? For decades America’s immigration policies were a boon to its national defense. No one has better intelligence on a rival country than a fleeing dissident with firsthand knowledge.


Times have changed.


Gil Guerra of the Niskanen Center is here to talk all about those changes. It’s an episode packed with bizarre anecdotes and interesting tidbits about how America runs now. You’ll learn why evangelical Christians are turning their back on refugees, why China won’t accept deportation flights, and how to navigate the Darien Gap using short form video posts.


  • Immigration is a foreign policy tool
  • Dissident refugees as a strategic win
  • What we know about how the “Gold Card” will work
  • “You simply can’t create greencards out of nowhere.”
  • How Mexico uses immigration to get concessions from the U.S.
  • “At a certain point the people who send you into the blades look like the bastards.”
  • Dealing with a dictator
  • 20,000 Chinese nationals at the southern border
  • The internet has made it easier to immigrate
  • Navigating the Darien Gap, one TikTok video at a time
