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.

Pastor Dave is preaching through the Minor Prophets of the Bible, and the themes are amazingly familiar to those of "us" who live in the "U.S." The prophets teach us how the world works, and our current situation is no different.
