Scott and Ryan have a spirited debate over national identity, law, and assimilation. Scott argues citizenship is a rare privilege grounded in loyalty, legal compliance, and American values, while Ryan counters that immigration must be judged pragmatically and that current enforcement has become overly harsh and, in some cases, abusive. The discussion escalates into disputes over ICE enforcement in places like Minnesota. The panel also takes a series of questions from students at The George Washington University on issues including deportation priorities for foreign students and activists like Mahmoud Khalil.. The debate concludes with some agreement on our immigration policies, warnings about civil liberties, and a defense of national self-determination through elections.
