Recently, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis sent around 50 Venezuelan migrants to Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts. I feel bad for these people, who were told they would go to Boston but ended up in the Vineyard because of terrible border policies and control. They decided to come to the United States under the pretense that they would be taken care of. This issue presents the need to have a serious conversation on immigration—a conversation that should have happened many years ago, should happen now, and in the future.

In this episode, I discuss the two planes of migrants that Florida Governor DeSantis sent to Massachusetts and the need to have a serious conversation on immigration reform. I discuss how poor border policies impact taxpayers and the immigrants themselves. I also describe what political NIMBYism is, explain why some politicians avoid making hard decisions on immigration, and underscore the need to elect public officials willing to compromise for the good of all American citizens.

“Elect into office people who want to have conversations—not just to get on Twitter, not just to be on the headlines of the day. We need new people in office who are actually going to make a difference.” - Jennifer Nassour

Women on the right need a safe space to discuss politics, policy and news, and ownership over the fact that it is ok to agree to disagree. It is our First Amendment right to free speech. Before we can even out the number of women in our local, state, & federal governments, we need to empower women to feel comfortable and confident discussing these and other topics.

I’m Jennifer. I’m a single mom of 3 girls living in Boston. I’m a lawyer with 2 political science degrees and I have NO problem talking politics with people who disagree with me.

I spent 3 years as the Chairman of the Massachusetts GOP and ran for the very liberal Boston City Council. I’m a frequent analyst on Newsmax, Fox News Radio, and Boston media. And as a Republican in a blue state, I know a few things about how to disagree agreeably.
