	Influential Issues Immigration By Bill Peacock and Andrew Liu Immigration is an issue as complex as it is contentious. With respect to immigration issues, we must recognize the efficacy of free markets in promoting economic growth, but also acknowledge the necessity of policy interventions to protect the rule of law and the security of the state and nation.

	Influential Issues The Economy By The Honorable Talmadge Heflin and Bill Peacock Government policies influence people's decisions on whether, where, and how much to work, save, and invest, impacting the ability of states to retain and attract residents and businesses. Research has shown that pro-growth policies result in higher after-tax returns, increased economic activity, and an eventual improvement in overall state fiscal health.

	Influential Issues Health Care By Kalese Hammonds Real change for our health care system means addressing the rising cost of health care and making it more accessible by taking actions to lower costs without incurring more government expenses or increasing the burden to taxpayers. The most effective way to do that is with a healthy dose of competition and free market forces.
