those who might be watching us we invite you to join us, the republican national lawyers association, national entity around which republican lawyers gather to promote rule of law and republican principles and you can learn more about us, www. are in la.org. most people don't practice immigration law. the reason most people don't practice immigration law is it is a complex federal statute which governs the practice. it was passed by congress. through the years the statute has been revised from time to time but always the efforts of both parties and the republican national lawyers association make appropriate revisions and follow the law. what we see going on on our southern border and things discussed earlier today lead us to ask a couple questions. number one, is that statute being followed or even referenced by the current administration and its activities with respect to the handling of the crisis on the southern border and other areas. these are reasonable questions based on what we see. we have the absolute perfect person to talk to us about those questions and many other things.

association that was published in may that 50% of respondents in the d.c. government affairs felt that traditional shoe leather lobbying was going to be on the decline because of the pandemic and that there would be a continued increase in digital advocacy tools like texting and emailing and things of that nature. i see a little bit differently. i have worked with and, i have worked with a firm that helps corporations and associations educate and increase awareness and encourage employees to act. from my interaction with policymakers, staff, lobbyists. even around the country, there's really a yearning for that in person sort of over the phone face-to-face interaction. i just really felt inspired to write something that was in defense of that and in defense of the personal lobbying at the same time. host: from back in the spring, respondents to that survey were in this world of lobbying digital efficacy. 65% said it was easier to reach elected officials by phone or videoconferencing during the pandemic easier than they expected. talk about how quickly these
