Oscar Chacón, co-founder and executive director of Alianza Americas, and Mark Shmueli, an attorney specializing in immigration law, join us to discuss the big headlines around Biden’s immigration executive orders. Adding his signature to three immigration orders on Tuesday, Biden has now signed 28 executive orders since taking office, far surpassing the 12 orders Trump signed in his first month in office. The record for the most signed executive orders in their first month in office is still held by former US President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who signed 30.
