You may not know this about my congressional district, which is about an hour and a half away from here. It's the third most diverse congressional district in America. 40% of the people I represent were born outside the United States. 40% of my constituents were born outside the United States. And the people I've represented are running through the fields and factories where they work, women being dragged by their hair and thrown into unmarked vans. (04:25–04:30)
