But politicians see immigration as a way to demagogue votes. There is no more visceral issue in American History than race. And immigration. You combine the two, and this is the first time it is really done it is against the irish in the 1850s, but this is the time it really takes gains weight. And it works.

There is a lively debate and several people, several congressmen, several senators speak eloquently against it. There is one senator from massachusetts, George Frisbee hore, almost forgotten today, he leads the fight against it. And he does for his whole life in the senate for the next 20 years. But every time it comes up for a vote in 1882, 92, 1902, it has fewer and fewer defenders and it becomes national policy. Yeah.

Im excited to be here. Host i wanted to start, your entire story has so many emotional movements on moments. As a congressional editor and love the portion where you say people tell me on the first editor to have a baby in office but now, the first to give birth. [laughter] but it tells you the average age for a senator to give birth in office we need more women senators and younger senators. Host the passages are fantastic but i hope we can have a candid conversation what that looks like on the personal level to be a very tradition bound institution. How awkward was that . Talk me through. You use the phrase with abreast on the senate floor. [laughter] as soon as i became pregnant it was through ivf. I was trying. We began having the conversations.
