Journalist and Activist Tamar Jacoby Addresses the TCFR on "Prospects for Immigration Reform"

Aired on Monday, February 23rd.

From the most powerful politicians in Washington, DC, to the director of "Birdman," Alejandro González Iñárritu, who accepted the Best Picture Oscar at last night's Academy Awards ceremony in Hollywood, immigration reform -- and finally doing something about immigration reform -- is on the minds of many. On this edition of ST, we talk about such with Tamar Jacoby, the president and CEO of ImmigrationWorks USA, which is a national federation of small business owners working to advance better immigration law. Jacoby recently gave an address to the Tulsa Committee on Foreign Relations entitled "Prospects for Immigration Reform," and she stopped by our KWGS studios while she was in town. A former senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute who's also been a senior writer and justice editor at Newsweek as well as a deputy editor of The New York Times Op-Ed Page, Jacoby has written articles for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Weekly Standard, and Foreign Affairs, among other publications; her books include "Someone Else's House: America's Unfinished Struggle for Integration" and "What It Means To Be American." You can learn more about Jacoby's recent TCFR address at this link.
