Walls We Don鈥檛 See
There are all sorts of barriers keeping people from coming into the US.
It鈥檚 not just the wall. There are lots of invisible barriers keeping immigrants from coming into the US. On this edition we explore some of those barriers.
We meet a three-year-old on Canada鈥檚 no-fly list; we speak to a student from India who grew up in the United States yet his visa expires as soon as he turns 21; we find out how much it costs to smuggle someone across the border and the lasting impact that debt can have on a family; and lastly we get a little loopy with musician Joe Kye.
