Haitian Border Crisis and Afghan Refugee Vetting

The hosts debate the optics of the Haitian refugee crisis at the Del Rio, Texas border, comparing it to the arrival of Afghan refugees. They discuss how the media used images of the Haitian camp under a bridge to trigger specific public reactions, while thousands of Afghans were flown in unvetted. The conversation explores the racial dynamics of border enforcement and how different groups are branded as threats by the media.
