What if there were a path forward on immigration that both sides could support?
In this episode of the Hopper Podcast, we sit down with Jim Neighbors, the author of a surprising, hopeful, and economically grounded proposal for integrating undocumented immigrants into American society. With 11 to 13 million undocumented individuals currently living in the U.S.—many for over 15 years—Jim lays out a nonpartisan plan that combines border security, legal accountability, and economic opportunity.
We talk about:
- Why mass deportation would devastate the U.S. economy and national security.
- How a $30,000 fine per undocumented person could generate $300+ billion in revenue while avoiding $800 billion in deportation costs.
- How this plan strengthens national sovereignty and affirms human dignity.
- The surprising data behind crime rates, tax contributions, and property/business ownership among undocumented immigrants.
- How this proposal appeals to progressives, moderates, and conservatives alike.
- This conversation is thoughtful, hopeful, and rooted in both compassion and common sense.
