Jonathan Blitzer, author of Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here: The United States, Central America, and the Making of a Crisis, joins The Realignment. Jonathan and Marshall discuss the Central American origins of the border crisis, the origins and state of the asylum system, why the Obama, Trump, and Biden administrations have struggled to "solve" the U.S.-Mexico border, and why we can expect future border showdowns for the foreseeable future.
