Anyone can Google this. Germany has been looking at its migration policies. Holland has been looking.

I'm going back to, you know, mom and dad or my brothers and sisters that were, you know, five years old before and now they're teenagers. Like the heartwarming story. So many of my colleagues, my team, you know, are going back right now and reuniting with family. And it's so touching.
