Our Managing Attorney, Heather Crews, recently joined the Legal Magnolias podcast for Episode 2, "Immigration Is Bigger Than the Border," alongside immigration attorney Meghan Deutsch-Blanco. Together, they discuss how today's immigration system affects people in ways that often receive little public attention.

Immigration law is often discussed through headlines about the U.S. border, but that represents only one part of a much larger legal system. Behind every policy change are employers trying to hire essential workers, school districts recruiting teachers, physicians serving rural communities, families pursuing citizenship, and individuals whose ability to remain and work in the United States can change with little warning.

Beyond the Headlines

In Immigration Is Bigger Than the Border, Heather Crews and Meghan Deutsch-Blanco join hosts Maggie Davis and Sonya Linton for a conversation about the many ways immigration law affects people beyond what is typically covered in the news. Together, they discuss how policy changes ripple through workplaces, schools, families, and communities, and why understanding immigration means looking beyond a single headline.
