You know, that's what they were.

They were kind of throwing everybody else in with this idea of we've got to push the immigrants out.

And that, frankly, is the trigger for me early on when Donald Trump was going after immigrants was I started to recognize that he's throwing in

basically black and brown people who are U.S.

citizens, many of whom have been here for generations.

And by the way, taking away the human rights of people who are immigrants, my family is an immigrant family.

We learned early on, my family, you know, my great grandfather arrived here with nothing and literally

you know, fought for everything that they were.

We're the most patriotic family in the world because we recognize what a great country this is and the great opportunity that got provided to us.

But he wrote a book when he was 70 years old, my great grandfather, about his life.

We hand it down in my family.

You get a copy of.

I've read it many times in my life, but it reminds me who we are.

First of all, we're a nation of immigrants.

And the values that we brought here.

And it's cool.

It's true.
