He's going in the midst of these polls.

Let's just look at this.

Is illegal immigration a very serious problem?

91% of Republicans say yes.

41% of Democrats too.

And so it's become a thing where it's increased among every single group from 2015 up to 2024.

It's a shared concern.

Well, and I think one of the things that we all have to realize is that by the time that someone

gets to the border, Troy, that is not our

immigration policy.

We have to recognize that the reason that we got to this moment was that Trump themselves

dismantled a lot of the programs where people could go ahead and file for some sort of visa or work permit in their home countries.

And in an effort to rebuild that you had COVID that really upended Latin America specifically.

They had close to 16 million middle class Latin Americans

that went directly into lower class.

They went into poverty.

And there was no response internationally from any of this.

So as the president goes in and talks about how tricky the situation is, how it's a Western

hemispheric issue, I hope he also recognizes that there are essential workers that are demanding relief that have been

here for 10, 20, 30 years that have been paying their taxes who have American children

who are ready to vote for him if he actually recognizes their

contributions.
