The Mexican Model
One reason immigration is so controversial now is that Mexicans are the largest immigrant group in U.S. history. Guest host David Cruz talks to author Gregory Rodriguez who forecasts the cultural and political impact of so many Mexican migrants. Also, how honor and bureaucracy collide over who is a 9/11 murder victim.
