Why do you think that is? Why do some conservatives support this bill and this idea?

Yeah, thanks, Alex.

And thanks for having me on the panel.

It's an honor to be here with the panelists.

I would probably say there's at least a couple explanatory forces to explain that.

I think, first, the Republican Party's coalition has changed.

Over the past dozen or so years, working class Americans, especially those without college degrees, have increasingly shifted into the Republican Party.

Are you concerned about all that or do you think that the bill would have a different practical effect?

Why is it important, and why did the president and the team work so hard on it?

Yeah.

Thanks, Steve.

Good to be on the show.

Appreciate you having me on.

Um, you know, obviously, we, we have a road bump here, uh, from, from the president, but should not distract from the fact that this is a pretty, you know, big week on Capitol Hill.

Both chambers of Congress, both the House and the Senate, by very broad bipartisan basis, passed a landmark housing bill.

Do you think that we can use this as a template to get into other areas to make sure that we sort this thing out from a populist, nationalist, economic perspective, sir?

This is directly addressing the affordability concerns that's top of mind for the American people.

It's a big bill, 350 pages, dozens of provisions.

Do you think that we can use this as a template to get into other areas to make sure that we sort this thing out from a populist nationalist economic perspective, sir?

up.

Great.

Well, thank you, Henry.

Thank you for hosting this conversation.

You know, I think I'll probably just begin by stating two principles or two premises.

The first, only individuals who are authorized to be in the United States should be here.

And only individuals who are authorized to work in the U.S. labor market should work in it.

I mean, why do you think E-Verify is going to drive illegal workers who are already violating the law out of the country when gun control doesn't stop illegal gun sales, when I-9 didn't stop illegal workers? So what is it about E-Verify that you think is even going to produce some, you know, way in which it's going to reduce illegal immigration?
