Alex Nowrasteh: podcast appearances and interviews

Alexander Nowrasteh is an American analyst of immigration policy working at the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank based in Washington D C. He is known for his advocacy of increased migration to the United States and describes himself as a radical supporter of open borders to and from the country. Previously, he served as an immigration policy analyst at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, another libertarian organization. Nowrasteh has authored multiple peer-reviewed studies on immigration and has co-authored the book Wretched Refuse The Political Economy of Immigration and Institutions with Benjamin Powell. His insights into immigration policy have gained recognition; in January 2013, ABC News listed him as the fifteenth top immigration expert to follow on Twitter in the United States. The following month, The National Journal featured him in a piece titled The Libertarian Case that included an interview and discussion of immigration issues. His views have drawn criticism from conservative circles. Nowrasteh's work emphasizes the economic and policy aspects of immigration and advocates for policies aligned with open borders.
