people who swoon over canada's progressivism with its national health care and matinee star liberal prime minister. when the u.s. proposes essentially the canadian system, merit-based system, shocked at how mean and racist it is. this is a no-brainer. the united states is the place everybody wants to go, every immigrant. you find somebody on a raft on the south china sea, they are going to the united states, they want to go to the united states. we choose to pick people randomly out of the phonebook. this does not make sense. we should be doing what canada and australia are doing and cashing in on the fact that the world wants to come in. it's amazing we haven't done this. that's the core of the issue. >> bret: >> bret: senator tom c, also at the white house, georgia
