But not the last 20. Not the last 20. I don't think you can look at immigration as an unprecedented bad in America. It is America. Otherwise, you don't have one. Not at this scale.
But even if you wanted to look at the people, even if you want to say there are 15 million people who aren't supposed to be here, they all came in illegally. Okay. One, you see how easier it is to say that than to do something about it, right? Because he was going to come in and round them all up. But it's an unsolvable problem.

Well, the question is, is it a problem or is it a challenge and it is a mixed bag? You have 7 million open jobs in the country that are necessary. What does that tell you? You don't have enough people to fill them. Okay. So that means that the 15 million people haven't taken everybody's jobs and saturated the market.

It's a legitimate political question.

Well, it's not that they're subsidizing not to work. Why are you subsidizing them at all? Because that's what I'm saying. It's a political decision. They decided to do that. You could decide not to do that. Now, they don't get Social Security benefits. Very often you'll hear... Well, they're young people.

But you have a third of... And again, these are all rough estimates, because your point about tracking, we don't do this well here either. You have a third, let's say, maybe close to a half of illegal entrants working in this country whose employers pay into Social Security for them. No, I know all these numbers. They do not get any of the benefits of that.

Now hopefully there's, again, an equilibrium that is achieved over time, but... You don't think Trump made a boogeyman of illegal entrants in this country by saying they're the bad hombres, they're all bringing the murders. You know that the crime rate among that population isn't the same as the native population. A single crime by an illegal alien is unacceptable.
