Explainer: Asylum & Del Rio with Mirlande Joachim, Esq.

If we had a penny for every time we heard the phrase “Haitian border crisis” over the last few weeks, we’d be richer than Jeff Bezos (don’t tell him, thanks). That phrase begs many questions - is it really a crisis? Who on earth was and is responsible for what we are seeing unfold at our southern border? Is there a reason these people aren’t being granted asylum? And, what is this ambiguous Title 42 everyone keeps throwing around? We ask these questions and more in our conversation and latest episode to badass immigration lawyer, Mirlande Joachim, Esq. Shedding light on the many issues happening here and happening fast, the conversation is a starter guide for understanding what went down in Del Rio. 

P.S. stay with us for top stories -- we talk about Putin’s baby mama, so the tea is excellent.
