Discussion: Brainstorming Iowa Immigration Solutions

Duration: 15:20

Iowa needs workers, and immigrants want to fill that need. This episode examines the ways the state can encourage legal methods of importing the estimated 300,000 people needed to continue business as usual. Can a state like Iowa become the sponsor of temporary workers? What is possible within the constraints of existing federal law?

Host Paul Yeager discusses possible solutions to the problem of undocumented workers in Iowa. Guests include Lori Chesser, immigration attorney, and Ted Sporer, Republican Party leader.
