    America is incredibly unique. Our system of government allows for wonderful real-time  examples of what works and what doesn't when it comes to human flourishing, freedom,  and citizen engagement. Each state can be viewed as a laboratory of democracy as policies promoted by state governments positively or negatively impact citizens. We have  seen an incredible population redistribution happening in our country as highly populated  states like New York or California are losing residents and other states like Florida or Texas  are gaining residents. Why? As many individuals have decide to vote with their feet, we can  see trends regarding the most successful policies for personal, corporate, and  governmental prosperity. With Linda to explore the trends is Jonathan Williams, President  of American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). They discuss the insights gleaned from  data outlined in the ALEC Rich States, Poor States guide, which is published annually to  provide comprehensive information on policies that truly lead to economic prosperity and  freedom.

    Immigration Realities – Issues and Answers – with Todd Bensman – [Ep. 290]

    Immigration is always a hot -and often emotional - topic, yet few people truly understand the impact immigration policies have on their daily lives, finances, and freedoms. Immigration touches every segment of society and impacts every community. Every town is a border town when immigration policies allow for open borders, financial fraud, rampant crime, and cultural upheaval. How do we continue our promise of freedom to immigrants while protecting the rights of our American citizens?  As policy details are swallowed in news cycles and impacts are often ignored until irreversible, Todd Bensman, Linda's guest in this episode, brings clarity and truth to the conversation, all based on his years as a journalist, policy analyst, and counterterrorism expert. Todd served as Senior National Security Fellow for the Center for Immigration Studies and as Senior Adviser to the US Department of Homeland Security and the National Counterterrorism Center. He now serves as a Senior Research Fellow for The Heritage Foundation's Border Security and Immigration Center. Todd has testified before Congress and written extensively to alert American citizens regarding the negative national security implications of open-border policies and to provide insight on providing safeguards for citizens and legal immigrants. This is an important episode you will not want to miss. Listen today and share with friends.  ©copyright 2026, Prosperity 101, LLC __________________________________________________________ For information about our online course and other resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity® by Linda J.
