“This was a very good informative podcast but now more than ever, where have you been with the Biden administration and all the illegal immigrants infiltrating our country? I am the son of Mexican immigrants into the US and now we need a voice to speak the truth of what’s going on! Or is this just...”Read full review »

“As the daughter of undocumented immigrants, immigrant rights has always been a huge concern for me personally. As a policy graduate student I spend much of my academic time focused on this policy area. RAÍCES does an amazing job here laying out the history of DHS and why it doesn’t have to be...”Read full review »

“As heartbreaking as it can be to listen to, it is necessary. I'm a daughter of immigrants and it is devastating to hear how different it could have been. It is painful to hear these stories and know that there are still kids out there who have not been reunited with their families.”Read full review »

“I devoured this series after hearing Erika Andiola on the “In The Thick” podcast. I thought I knew the danger of DHS, but I knew only the half of it. Each episode reveals a new way the department has deviated and expanded from its original intent to protect us from another 9/11. Andiola and her...”Read full review »
