has been embraced by a lot of business groups.

So her bill is sort of this middle ground where she would offer a form of legal status for people in the country illegally, but would also not be offering them a pathway to citizenship necessarily.

When I sat down with her last week, she got into the specifics of what this bill, the Dignity Act, looks like.

Right now, there hasn't been that much traction for it.

Her belief, as she says it, is that if she could get the president on board and the White House on board, Congress would follow, especially as polls show that he's losing ground on this issue, which is one of the ones that helped bolster his candidacy in 2024.

That's something that the Congresswoman and I talked about.

In recent election cycles, we've seen Republicans make inroads with the Hispanic community, and she's eager to see the party continue in that tradition.

She feels like the time is coming where they're going to have to accept that there needs to be a middle ground on this issue.

I fell into the bad bunny beat back in September when he was first announced to be the Super Bowl halftime headliner.

You know, at the time, it triggered backlash among MAGA influencers and folks in conservative circles, in part because of his opposition to Trump's immigration agenda that he's been very public about.

So it prompted all this backlash at the time.

And then fast forward, the Grammys, one week out from the Super Bowl, and we saw Bad Bunny take the stage, his acceptance speech for the best Música Urbana album.

And he used that as an opportunity to say ice out.

And that's a phrase that we've seen in protests of the Trump administration's immigration agenda.

And now we kind of see that backlash reigniting again.

Yeah, I mean, I think that the White House press secretary taps into that.

a reality of celebrities speaking out.
