Luke Thomas Gets Political: Immigration drives America’s prosperity, yet public debates are often built on myths. In this interview, Luke Thomas speaks with Wharton professor Zeke Hernandez, author of The Truth About Immigration: Why Successful Societies Welcome Newcomers. They explore data showing how immigrants boost investment, innovation, talent, consumer spending, and tax revenues — and why restricting immigration damages the economy, culture, and even national security.

Hernandez explains the bipartisan misconceptions about immigration, the economic impact across generations, and lessons from past restrictive laws. He shares why framing immigrants as either “villains” or “victims” misses the real story: they are essential contributors to America’s future.
