LBJ Assistant Dean for Civic Enagement Victoria DeFrancesco Soto talks to the Texas Standard about how immigration will play into the 2020 election.
"She says immigration rules, including many that affect asylum-seekers and would-be refugees, have changed dramatically during the Trump administration. Trump has also made progress in constructing his border wall.
"'We've seen immigration changes in all shapes and sizes, from changes in terms of who can receive benefits [and] others who are permanent residents here — green card holders — to the changes we saw a couple of summers ago where we were separating families,' DeFrancesco Soto says."
