Canadian Conservative Talks American Refugee and Economic Policy

The Brian Lehrer Show | Oct 10, 2018

Stephen J. Harper, economist, entrepreneur, former G-7 leader who served as Canada's 22nd Prime Minister, and the author of Right Here, Right Now: Politics and Leadership in the Age of Disruption (Signal, 2018), examines the global trends and the legitimate concerns of voters that led to the election of President Trump.

Brian asks Harper to react to Trump policy to cut cap on refugees. Harper: "Where illegal or irregular immigration comes to dominate, public support for all types of immigration ... falls dramatically." He suggests America and others should tackle illegal immigration.
