Welcome to a new season of the award-winning Hill Country Authors Podcast, sponsored by Stoney Creek Publishing. In this podcast, Hill Country resident Tom Fox visits with authors who live in, write in, and write about the Texas Hill Country. Host Tom Fox welcomes author Loren Steffy to discuss his new book, Reconstructing Immigration: How to Rebuild America’s Economic Advantage. Loren Steffy is an award-winning journalist and longtime business reporter who has spent years examining immigration through an economic lens. He argues that immigration reform should be treated as a practical tool to meet labor needs and strengthen U.S. growth, not just a social or enforcement issue. Steffy believes immigrants are essential to the American economy because they fill critical jobs in industries like construction, housing, agriculture, and healthcare, while also contributing disproportionately to innovation and new business creation. In his view, the United States has “left money on the table” by failing to build a flexible, data-driven immigration system that attracts and integrates immigrants to support long-term prosperity.
