The NPR Politics Podcast · How Trump's immigration policy has evolved · 9 Sep 2026 podcast

And obviously it goes much farther than that. matched

And again, you know, back on the campaign trail, which I followed Trump along on, you know, he didn't just talk about this being an issue about the border, he didn't just talk about this being an issue of national security. matched

In his words, it was about protecting the fabric of the country. matched

He said it many times in many different places. matched

You know, and he would say that that is the most important issue facing the country, bigger than the economy, bigger than inflation. matched

And again, matched

And I think that speaks to some of the stuff that Himena is talking about, about reshaping the immigration system. matched

Because in the end I think this is really a debate about what the immigration system should look like and who should be allowed to live and work here. matched

I mean it's that it's that point that Jimena's making about affecting so many US citizens, whether spouses or parents or or children of undocumented immigrants, is one of the reasons why this is an issue that in some ways is hurting Trump, even though it's his signature issue. matched

Among Latinos who he had really gained a you know, really a foothold uh in the last election, he's lost a lot of that support. matched

And I think it's because of the issue. matched

that Humana is laying out right there. matched

Well, I mean I certainly agree with you and don't think it's the same level of attention that we saw matched

uh at the beginning of the administration when he was really s ramping up uh the enforcement activities. matched

You know, and I I I think it makes sense that we are not hearing it as much. matched

I mean, that was partially their plan. matched

I mean, you mentioned the US citizens that died uh in some of these demonstrations, who were shot uh by Border Patrol agents and the frenzy that it caused and the criticism of the administration matched

and you know, concerns about the enforcement tactics that were taken. matched

The Trump administration made it very clear that they wanted to kind of pull out of the headlines for a while. matched

But I don't think this issue is going away at all. matched
