Drawing on history, scripture, and the wisdom of the Founding Fathers, they examine the consequences of broken policies, the dangers of unchecked borders, and the cultural transformation facing America.

Listeners are invited to grapple with tough questions: Can America find consensus on immigration? Is there a way to balance justice and mercy? And what does it mean for the future of liberty and the republic?
