low-wage, hard-to-fill jobs who are paying taxes and supporting their families here without money, supporting their families back home without money, people who are integrated into the economy.

Yeah, I mean, it's, yeah, 1.3 million people.

And so, you know, what are they going to do when fewer people have money to go out to eat or pay for groceries?
