Well, what I do, I think in particular is you combine a robust guest worker program, because I think that's what is lost in this discussion. And what will be so damaging about President Obama taking unilateral action if he defers action on deportations, for example, that's going to be an incentive for illegal immigration. So what we need to do is we need to eliminate or drastically reduce those incentives for illegal immigration. Of course, the number one incentive is people coming here looking for work for that kind of opportunity. (01:01–01:11)
