But you know, most people in the US are here because of a prior period of unrestricted immigration or of much looser immigration.

Sure.

Um and we're not saying throw the gates open.

We're saying let's do that.

Let's let's look at where the system is really flawed, really problematic.

I think that's called immigration reform.

It is, but we think that uh you have to look at all of these things from first principles, right?

We started here from first principles.
