What is America?

Ep 14: Why this Mexican-American entrepreneur voted for Trump (with Alberto Paramo)

John Minervini Season 1 Episode 14

Alberto Paramo just might be the American Dream. The son of illegal immigrants from Mexico, he’s successfully built three businesses from the ground up. He also started a foundation to help young people build a career in the trades.

Immigration is Alberto's key issue—and, in my opinion, his stance is pretty reasonable. He thinks we should enforce the rules that we've got in place, as well as creating a bipartisan path to citizenship for those who are already in the country.

So I wasn't expecting what happened next. I posted a short video of Alberto on social media to get people excited about the interview. It blew up, garnering millions of views and thousands of comments. Not gonna lie, some of them were pretty mean-spirited.

So...is immigration actually the issue that's dividing America? Is it actually what the 2024 presidential election was about? This week, we're talking about immigration, entrepreneurship, and smoking cigars in a pontoon boat on Lake Wallenpaupack.
