Ole Miss, I got a question.
Are you ready?
I can believe that the United States should lower its levels of immigration in the future while also respecting that there are people who have come here through lawful immigration pathways that have contributed to the country.
But just because one person or 10 people or 100 people came in legally and
and contribute to the United States of America, does that mean that we're thereby committed to let in a million or 10 million or 100 million people a year in the future?
No, that's not right.
We cannot have, I'll go and finish.
We cannot have an immigration policy- She's raising her hand again.
country 50 or 60 years ago binds the country inevitably for the future.
There's too many people who want to come to the United States of America.
And my job as vice president is not to look out for the interest of the whole world.
It's to look out for the people of the United States.
I grew up in a country where you just didn't hear political leaders talk about their faith.
But the reason why I try to be the best husband I can be, the best father I can be, the reason why I care so much about all the issues that we're going to talk about is because I believe
that I've been placed in this position for a brief period of time to do the most amount of good for God and for the country that I love so much.
And I have two very important duties as Vice President of the United States, to the American people and to God, and that's the most important influence my faith has on me.
Thank you.
Here's something that I want conservatives, I want every conservative to remember.
It's an important part of my entire political philosophy is we cannot be afraid to do something because the left might do it in the future.
The left is already going to do it regardless of whether we do it.
