About this listen

 From the Irish to the Italians, America has received waves of immigrants from nearly every inhabited continent at some point and just about all of them faced significant discrimination upon their arrival. With current discourse now focused on Somali, Muslim, and Indian migrants, an uncomfortable question arises: Were these the same conversations people had about our ancestors? Professor of History at George Washington University Tyler Anbinder joins Will to go over America’s storied relationship with immigration, explaining why Irish-Americans faced so much discrimination, and how they gradually came to be accepted. Plus, Will and The Crew weigh in on the discussion with Professor Anbinder and share their own thoughts on whether today’s immigration debate reflects the past.
