The mexicans but somehow theyve contributed to society and were growing because when you take a diversity of ideas they dont take your jobs.

Let me build on that then because again, the vote in the senate is happening we believe its going to be successful. The real battle is in the house. So lets talk about the battle in the house. Without naming names a group of 80 executives met with the house and quote were going to take care of you high terence votes but who cares who picks the strawberries.
