## Resource

Chris Hume is joined by Luke Saint, Adam Terrell, Josiah Huestis, and Julio Delgado for a thought-provoking discussion on immigration, sparked by clips from an episode of The Sword & The Trowel . They explore the contrast between the message of the 1883 sonnet, "The New Colossus," which welcomes the "wretched refuse" of nations to America, and the current mindset of keeping people out at all costs. The panelists tackle the immigration crisis and attempt to answer Graham Gunden's question: "Is it a sin to break U.S. immigration law?"
