The gentleman personally witnessed what happened after the amnesty of 1986. President Reagan rightly said that we can't have an amnesty unless we have proper border security. They put it in the same bill. They got the amnesty and there was no follow- up. Let's say we want to do the best to help young people, the world over. My friend here has already illustrated what happens. There are rules for radicals. You want to bring down the United States, apparently you bring as many people into being totally reliant on the government, so you bankrupt the government, destroy the government. That is how you eliminate the greatest, most representative government in the history of the world. Then what happens to young people around the world when there is no America to stand up against repressive regimes? What happens? Who is benefited by bringing down the United States by overwhelming our system, running the $20 trillion debt up much higher? Who is benefited?
