WHYY-FM's "Radio Times with Marty Moss-Coane"
Two immigration law experts at Temple's Beasley School of Law, Peter Spiro and Jan Ting, joined "Radio Times" to discuss immigration reform the day after President Obama announced his blueprint. "The election sent a very strong message that immigration reform is a political imperative, and it's also the case that President Obama thinks it's the right thing to do," said Spiro. Ting lamented the lack of a national debate on population growth. "We're going to have 400 million people in the United States by the year 2050," Ting said, "and that's almost entirely due to immigration…Where are we going to put 100 million people?"
