And I think immigration is essential.

But it cannot be uncontrolled.

And I will also say this.

Part of the immigration process, in my opinion—

that if you are unwilling to participate in this particular process, that you likely have no business staying here, is the assimilation portion.

If it is your goal to leave wherever you came from, to come to the United States, to recreate the exact same environment that you feel the need to leave or felt the need to leave, I have a problem with that.

And that left unchecked will destroy our country because our country will become something

that it is not, or it will become flavors and versions of another country, which, by the way, let's not forget, people are risking life, limb, and family to escape.

For the people who want to come to this country, I struggle to find anyone absent a very small group of people that have probably other much bigger issues upstairs that would argue against immigration at all.

Like it should be a hard stop, no, nobody ever.

I don't really encounter those people.

And I don't actually even really encounter a lot of people who would argue for illegal immigration.

They understand why people are coming here.

They understand that there's a process in place or conceptually there should be, and they have no issue with people following that.

So I think that like that baseline template, if we start there, I think most people, reasonable people would say, yeah, that makes sense.

The assimilation piece is a big piece to me.

If you come to the United States,

and it is your goal to burden our social systems, and again, create the environment from which you fled, I don't have time for that.

And I don't think that should be allowed because it's a threat to our country and our morals and our values and who we are.

If you're on the other side of that coin and you want to assimilate and become an American,
