The issue of immigration helped carry Donald Trump back to the White House in 2024. Two years later, it could be one of the Republicans’ biggest liabilities heading into the midterms.

He’s joined by former U.S. Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez, whose new book is called Sheer Will: Learning to Lead When There is No Path.
