The American Dream is real! Almost all of us can point to someone in our family’s history who took a chance, left behind everyone and everything they knew, and came to the United States. They did it to improve their own lives and to give their children the opportunity to reach their highest potential.

Former Texas Rep. Mayra Flores is living the American Dream. She was born in Mexico, but through the courage of her parents coming to America and her own hard work and perseverance, Flores is flourishing as a wife and mother, as a working professional, and she even became the first Mexican-born member of Congress.

In a wide-ranging conversation, Sara and Rep. Flores discuss their American stories and some of the key challenges facing our nation and our families today, including the harsh truth about why child sex trafficking is proliferating in this country and what we can do to reduce the repulsive demand for it.

Sara also shares her story of the sleazy guy In New York who harassed her while she was trying to eat dinner this week. But it also got her thinking about how our culture confuses men into acting weak when what we really need is for many more strong, honorable men to step forward to protect their families and our nation.
