Randall Teague is the Mayor of Haddon Township, New Jersey, the current epicenter of the immigration and deportation debate, where the town is rallying around a married couple who own a restaurant, but are technically not legally in the US - and have been detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. After speaking with the Mayor about this major story, Michael hears from listeners, including a caller named Paul, who is in this same situation. He came to the US on a tourist visa in 1999 on his honeymoon, and never left. He has been trying to get a green card ever since, still lives in the country, but not legally. Hear his story in this episode, and ask, what do we do with Paul? Original air date 28 February 2025.
