Why 80% of Undocumented Immigrants Have Been Here 10+ Years (Full)

You think the immigration crisis is new? Wrong. 80% of undocumented immigrants have been here over ten years. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley kick off the series exposing how broken the system really is—economic winners and losers, bipartisan legislative failures, birthright citizenship myths, packed detention centers, and why foreign policy keeps fueling the flow. No slogans, just cold facts and sharp takes you won’t hear on cable.
