I was recently in Miami, Florida, and it's quite clear that one of the principal reasons that we now have our gun sites on Cuba, which I think is ridiculous.

Insane.

Yeah.

He is because of the Cuban-American community, which wields significant influence inside the United States, much like the Israel lobby.

I agree completely.

I'm against dual citizenship.

Of course.

I think if you come to the United States, you become an American.

You should have American citizenship.

No.

I don't consider myself German-American or Irish-American because I'm also partly Irish-American.

I consider myself American.

I do too.

I think when you come to the United States and you become a citizen, there's a social contract involved.

And that social contract involves becoming an American and becoming an American first year by definition.

Otherwise, don't come to the United States or, you know, get a temporary visa, which is fine.

But if you become an American, I believe that you should not be lobbying on the part of other countries, whether it's for Cuba or China.

or India or Israel.

Yeah, and I say that, by the way, as somebody who's been a big proponent of immigration over time.

I'm glad they let all those Russian Jews into the United States or East European Jews into the United States.
