230 | Two Classes of Americans: Texas State House Rep. Gene Wu speaks out on Texas SB-17

We’re joined by Texas State Representative Gene Wu, Minority Leader and Chair of the Democratic Caucus. In his thirteenth year in the House, Wu is sounding the alarm on Texas Senate Bill 17, a new law he says revives “anti‑alien land” restrictions from a century ago. He argues it creates two classes of Americans—one with full rights and another with limited rights—and echoes the path that led to Japanese internment. In this urgent conversation, Wu explains why SB 17 terrifies immigrant communities, why silence is dangerous, and what must be done to fight back.Tweet us at @podcastcolors. Check out our partner program on international affairs, Global with JJ Green on Substack.
