I've been here. The DACA thing like there needs to be a very rigorous process. And if you're serious about becoming an American citizen, we need to take it seriously.
And if there's a way that we can use that as a bargaining chip, then, yeah, I think we can make it a bargaining chip. And then you say, you know, if you want to use that as a bargaining chip, then you definitely harden a lot more.
You know, maybe you hardline the fact that if you if you overstay visas, then you cannot even apply for legal citizenship for a long period of time or something.
I mean, I think that would be a good way. There's so many opportunities, but I think a lot of folks and I appreciate your answer, because at least you show some willingness to bite the bullet and use it as a bargaining chip.
There's so many people in Congress unwilling to even entertain the discussion because they're old enough to live within the PTSD of losing California to Reagan's amnesty bill of 1986.
So that is the reason why so many people of the old timers in Congress, not even old timers, 60 year olds aren't really old timers, but they they they rebuke any version of it because they go like, yeah, yeah, George, you know, I heard this from Scott Perry's mouth.
He's like, yeah, this is exactly the kind of shit that took California from being a reliable Republican state into whatever the fuck it is today. And I looked at Scott Perry's face and I'm like, and that's coming from a Colombian man.
