Immigration
We have always benefited from a global “brain gain” — the immigration of smart, hardworking individuals.
We need immigration
We are one of the few countries that doesn’t require you to be born here to be a citizen. This simple fact enables our country to prosper by attracting the best, brightest, and hardest working people from all over the world.
The adage “if you’re not growing then you’re dying” is true for our country.
Our birthrate alone is not enough to sustain the population necessary to keep our great economic engine humming along.
We need immigration to attract the skills necessary to meet the needs of our economy.
We should embrace the fact that America is like a quilt—made up of many patches and pieces woven together by one common thread. Adding to our quilt benefits us..

50% of Fortune 500 companies have an immigrant Founder
During my service in the federal government, I received a pretty good education in the byzantine U.S. immigration system. In addition to learning the process of how visas are actually granted.
I learned things like how almost half of all Fortune 500 companies have a founder who was an immigrant or the child of an immigrant.
Immigrants are twice as likely to be granted a patent, and the share of immigrants in high-skill occupations, particularly jobs that prioritize math and science, continues to rise.
Entrepreneurs. AI specialists. Software engineers. Researchers.
For more than 200 years, smart, productive people have come to our shores as a result of a global brain gain that has significantly benefited America.

About the book
Will draws on his unique experiences in back alleys of dangerous places, boardrooms of international businesses, and the halls of Congress to lay out a detailed plan to “reboot America,” offering a fresh start to a country mired in political divides and internal strife.
Will Hurd tells a great story about his life and his experiences in the CIA, private business, and as a Congressman.
The book also serves as a playbook for like minded Republicans that want to transform the party from the extremes of Trump back to a solutions based party that actually gets things done.
This is one of the best books I have ever read. Part personal story, part political analysis, but mainly just common sense thinking and analysis of solutions to problems.
Will Hurd is an amazing writer and person and I expect to see him do great things in the future.
This was a great read. As someone who tends to identify as an Independent or moderate, I thought Mr. Hurd made some great points and offered thoughtful solutions.
I hope he considers a run for political office again, I'd vote for him in a heartbeat.
A life long Republican I had lost hope that I would ever vote Republican again after the extremist views have taken over the party over the last 6 years.
This book covered all my values & concerns in a nuanced way that the majority of politicians today seem incapable of doing.

The choice we face
In every decision we make, we stand at a crossroads. The path of division and quick fixes is well-trodden, but it’s time we consider a different route – one paved with unity and foresight.
Imagine an America where common sense prevails, where policies are crafted with the people’s best interests at heart, and our collective strengths are the foundation of national progress.
This is more than a possibility. It’s a choice we can make right now. By coming together, we have the power to foster a nation that champions innovation, inclusivity, and integrity.

Will got more legislation signed into law in three terms than most congressmen do in their entire career. He worked across the aisle, and prioritized good policy over politics.
