Well, Ben, I don't think anyone should be surprised by the kind of the numbers and the shifts that we're seeing right now, because when you do, when your government carries out this kind of coordinated campaign to tear millions of families and hardworking people from their communities,
people who are raising children, building neighborhoods, creating the kind of culture and society and life that makes this country run and that makes this country what it is, people are going to turn against you.
And so I want to start with where we are right now, because unless you're living inside of one of these communities, unless you've seen
routines break down overnight, unless you've watched the fear on a parent's face when they hear a knock on the door, unless you've seen a child afraid to go to school, it's almost impossible to grasp the scale of what is happening right now around our country.
And so the mistake and the strategic errors that Democrats have made time and time again is to pretend
that it's not happening, to pretend that Republicans aren't leading with immigration as their issue, and to think that by not leaning in and by not
having an affirmative vision on what to do on immigration, that that's enough, that it'll go away.
And what I think is that the assault that we're seeing right now isn't only physical or psychological, it's also economic.
And that's what the results of the off-year elections told us, that the administration's actions are hitting everyone's daily lives, and we can talk about that more.
Well, I think what you see across the country is that families are facing skyrocketing prices for food, for housing, childcare, elder care, and immigration policies directly tied to these, right?
And so recently we saw that the Department of Labor actually acknowledged that current policies are hurting farms
They're making it harder to hire workers.
They're driving up the price of food.
And so you have all these industries that rely on immigrant labor, construction, home health care, child care.
They're also seeing the strain.
And that translates directly into higher costs for everyday families, right?
So groceries, housing, child care, the building of new homes, these are
policies that target immigrant communities actually make life more expensive and more precarious for everyone.
And so we have to think of immigration policy as economic policy.
And here's the catch with Latino voters.
