On our first of many Unpartisan Politics: Policy Updates, we start by giving you a snapshot of the overall debate on Refugee & Asylum policy and dive into the root causes of the humanitarian crisis on the US - Mexico border. We also run through the major headlines in the news surrounding the refugee & asylum policy debate.

To help us parse through the noise, we have Theresa Cardinal Brown - Director of Immigration and Cross Border Policy - at the Bipartisan Policy Center walk us through the complexities of this changing policy topic: https://bipartisanpolicy.org/person/theresa-cardinal-brown/

We also hear some of Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Kevin McAleenan's testimony to Congress on April 30th.
