S1E3 – We've learned about some of the people moving through the immigration system, but what about the perspective of the person making final immigration decisions? Judge Paul Schmidt is a retired immigration judge who also has Board experience. This unique viewpoint gives Judge Schmidt insight into some of the administrative failures and limitations. Is the system set up to fail…intentionally? Are public perceptions about immigration courts correct and accurate? Is there an attack on due process? Judge Schmidt weighs in on these and more with hosts Woody Scott and James Spokes.
