What AI Policy Can Learn from Immigration with Dara Lind

The people with firsthand experience of American immigration policy mostly can't vote, and Congress hasn't overhauled legal immigration since 1990. Dara Lind, senior fellow at the American Immigration Council and a longtime immigration reporter at Vox and ProPublica, has watched immigration go from an issue Washington kept putting off to one that helped elect a president. She and Dave Kasten talk about why public attention comes in spikes, how agency cultures and Schedule F shape what government actually does, why polarization only ratchets one way, and what all of it means for AI policy: how to use a crisis without wishing for one, why "warning shots" is the wrong metaphor, and how to keep a young field from burning out its people.
