Hello everybody, welcome to my Underground Bunker studio.
2:14
I'm down here giving veterans a voice.
2:16
I'm trucker mouth and you're on the roadshow, say on the
2:21
roadshow we're going to discuss Bill HR 3372, the HR3372.
2:32
There's a bill that wants to put bigger, heavier trucks, bigger,
2:38
longer, heavier trucks on the road.
2:44
They're proposing to raise the gross vehicle weight rating of
2:50
the whole truck from 8000 lbs to 91,000 lbs and add another axle.
3:01
And it just it, it's come with all kind of, it's coming in with
3:04
all kind of opposition. And it's it's it's hard enough
3:09
in trucker mouse opinion, you know, pulling, pulling, you
3:16
know, fighting with 80,000, you know, fighting with a low
3:18
weighing, you know, 45,000 lbs making your gross fake weight
3:21
rating 80,000 lbs. No, a couple 1000 miles.
3:26
Yeah, that's hard enough. I could imagine, you know,
3:28
91,000. I mean, I've been over already
3:31
by a couple 1000 lbs. But I mean, I couldn't imagine
3:34
91 thousand 91,000 lbs pouring out around and having their
3:38
axle. But it's come in with some
3:43
serious opposition from from all over.
3:47
Bigger trucks will lead to disastrous results, industry
3:50
leaders say, yeah, it's going to be disastrous results and
3:54
heavier trucks. I mean, is, is there already a
3:57
danger out there to the general public?
4:02
Well, I shouldn't say a danger, but they're they're it it it, it
4:05
could be it can be a danger. And, you know, just just the,
4:11
just the, the damage to the roads and the bridges itself is
4:17
going to lead to considerable infrastructure problems.
4:24
So if you want to put heavier trucks on the roads and bridges
4:30
are asking for some sort of catastrophe at some point.
4:35
The executive director of National Association of County
4:38
Engineers says they already know what you know, a truck with a
4:45
grocery vehicle weight rate of £80,000 does trucks, you know
4:48
all these trucks and if you want to go to 91,000 lbs, they just,
4:54
they just already are, are anticipating safety concerns
4:59
and, and, and infrastructure concerns about it.
5:04
If you increase the life or increase the weight of trucks on
5:07
the bridges and roads, in theory assorting the lifespan of the
5:11
bridge and the roads. And there's no funding available
5:16
to address that speed up timeline.
5:18
OK, these these these states are already putting all kind of
5:22
money into the roads and they should be anyway into the roads
5:26
and bridges. And you know that there is just
5:27
going to lead to more and you know they're going to they're
5:31
going to pass that on to the trucking industry and some
5:33
somehow. And it just in the trucker
5:37
mounts opinion, it don't it don't make no sense to do that
5:42
£80,000 is enough out there running around, got tires
5:47
blowing, all kind of shit going on.
5:48
I mean, yeah. So now this association of of
5:53
county engineers is 1 of 26 organizations that make up a
5:56
coalition against bigger trucks. So they got a coalition against
6:00
bigger trucks already. And it's just so this is coming
6:06
from out position from all over. It is.
6:08
It's just ain't going to. Hopefully it just don't get
6:10
passed anyway. The Coalition recent studies
6:15
saying that between 65,157 bridges between there and
6:25
eighty, 82,457 bridges are at risk.
6:30
I know what the bridges around here, they didn't look like and
6:34
they couldn't handle that. They couldn't handle that.
6:40
Definitely. You got all these states that
6:43
are against it already, Arkansas, California, Florida,
6:46
Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts,
6:49
Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Virginia and Washington.
6:54
And yeah, they just, they're, they're already, they're already
6:59
anticipating, you know, these states with more than $1.7
7:03
billion replaced at risk bridges.
7:05
So they don't even want they want to replace them even before
7:09
this this gets in there because they they know they can't, you
7:12
know, they can't hold that weight.
7:16
And yeah, I don't need I don't need add to our infrastructure
7:22
problems. So I you know, we don't like it.
7:28
Truck them out, don't like it. We don't like it, but don't it
7:31
ain't going to go. That ain't the answer.
7:40
My notes here, U.S. Department of Transportation
7:44
studied the impact of various longer and heavier trucks.
7:48
I found that the additional cost of damage to both roads and
7:50
bridges would require billions of dollars and new federal
7:53
expanding federal spending adding to our budget deficit.
7:57
So there we go with that. So it's going to affect the
7:58
budget deficit and you know, when it reflects the, the, the
8:06
deficit, it's going to affect us.
8:08
It's going to roll down to the to the everyday person like me
8:12
and you. Then you got the American, then
8:15
you got the American Society of Civil Engineers did a study on
8:19
our roads. They gave our roads AAD plus and
8:22
bridges AC. As far as condition goes, of the
8:27
623,000 bridges in the US, 49% are in fair condition, 44 or in
8:32
good condition, 7% are in poor condition.
8:35
So they, they rated them and it's not, they're not in the
8:43
best shape. They're not in the best shape
8:48
from fair to good to poor. So our recent efforts to
8:54
increase the truck size of weight limits have fallen short
8:57
of of stand alone bills. However, Congress will soon be
9:00
working on the next highway bill and proponents of heavy trucks
9:03
will will then let me attach the provisions to a larger package.
9:09
So now we got the shipping the shippers coalition and they want
9:13
to say to lawmakers at the recent hearing that an 11,000 LB
9:17
increase would be modest. So the shippers association, the
9:19
coalition is for the bigger huggier trucks.
9:23
The shippers coalition. I've never heard of of all these
9:27
organizations in my life. I never did.
9:29
But I guess they they obviously they exist.
9:32
They said that would be the Shippers Coalition said that
9:34
would be a modest, a modest increase. 11,000 lbs.
9:39
That's a that's a what is that? That's from 8000 lbs, 8000 lbs.
9:52
See 11,000 lbs on 10,000 lbs on 8000 lbs would be like a 12%
10:00
increase, 11% increase, 12%. OK, now we got some comments
10:05

But trust me, no bot, contact me on Discord.
10:31
What the Hell's this? Yeah, I don't know how that came
10:40
through here, but anyway, yeah. So I mean it, it's definitely
10:44
got a lot, a lot of bad things about it.
10:46
I mean, they want the farm farm industry and all wants it.
10:54
It may be on short, on short halls, like if you're taking the
10:59
corn from the and just the trucker mouths of pigeon, the
11:04
corn from the the the field and it's only taking it to the
11:09
processing plant. I don't know if they got this
11:13
enacted. I mean, they got of course not
11:15
everybody's going to do this. The guys seen out Western in the
11:18
United States, they'd have extra axis in there.
11:20
But that's still only 8000 lbs GVWR, not not 91,000 lbs.
11:32
Yeah. So then the proposal would
11:34
impose important conditions on on participation that protect
11:38
the public interest, including the addition of extra axle
11:41
weight distribution requirements of the bridge former and per
11:44
axle limit. They have changed.
11:46
They have changed all these laws.
11:47
If they did this, all these different laws, axle weights,
11:51
what's what, what, what, what would axle weights will 91,000
11:53
LB be? Right now it's 3434 and 1212 on
11:58
the stairs, 34 on the drive, 34 in the back on the tandems.
12:02
I don't know how you would divide up a £91,000 load.
12:08
I don't want to know. I don't have to deal with that.
12:12
Oh yeah, so you didn't ask for Brotherhood Teamsters and
12:18
truckload carriers. And the owner of Brothers Owner
12:20
Operates Independent Driver Association spoke out in
12:23
opposition to heavier trucks. Oh, yeah.
12:27
And Teamsters also a part of the coalition against bigger trucks.
12:30
So there's coalition against bigger trucks also.
12:33
So this thing's done. Hey, this thing ain't getting
12:36
going. No way.
12:39
No way is this this gonna pass. And I don't want to pass.
12:48
So some of these shippers and large carriers claim increasing
12:52
truck size and weight is good for trucking.
12:55
No, it ain't. How's it going for it Ain't good
12:57
for the driver. They ain't good for the roads,
12:59
ain't good for nobody. These are losing propositions
13:04
for truckers on Hwy. safety. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:07
Large. Yeah, large carriers, because
13:09
they get paid by their weight. And if they can get a load,
13:12
Wayne, you know, 53,000 lbs versus 46,000 lbs, they're going
13:19
to do it. Yeah, they because they get paid
13:21
by the weight. They're already looking out for
13:23
themselves. They're looking out for
13:26
ourselves, man. They ain't looking out for
13:28
driver. We don't care about the
13:29
infrastructure. The roads are nothing.
13:33
So coal skin skinned. I did have his name right.
13:39
The Teamster's transportation policy advisor, Coal Scandalia,
13:46
said that the increasing truck weights would create safety
13:48
concerns and create damage to Nathan's roads and bridges.
13:51
Yes, we all know this for a fact.
13:58
So the Teamsters are against this.
14:00
I mean, everybody, everybody's against this.
14:04
Nobody, nobody wants this, man. Larger, bigger, heavier trucks.
14:11
Oh, also, yeah, they they want to.
14:13
They want to. The double S you see running
14:15
around. Well, we're here in
14:16
Pennsylvania. The double S we see running
14:19
around. They want to.
14:21
They want to a proposal to change them from like 2024 foot
14:29
to 33 foot. They might be 26 foot, but no
14:35
bigger than that. They want to change them to 33
14:37
foot and increase the truck weights now.
14:40
So just the trailers alone, 60, I'd be 66 foot long and then you
14:44
got a tractor pulling them. Like I said, they're all these
14:48
people. They're only looking out for
14:49
themselves. They get paid by weight.
14:52
So you got Josh Elliott, past chairman of the truck Rd.
14:59
carrier associate spoke out against proposal for twin 33
15:02
foot trailers and increased truck weights.
15:04
Hell yeah. Man, these these people are
15:07
crazy. I gotta get going.
15:10
I got a lot of information here. Yeah.
15:13
It don't make any sense to. Yeah, so.
15:23
The motivation for heavier, bigger, heavier trucks comes
15:25
from corporate interest and not the general public.
15:28
Doesn't make any sense. Increase the size, weight in
15:30
terms of motors doing the road and infrastructure they drive
15:32
on. So they're also saying, they're
15:34
also saying that that if they if they would increase the the
15:44
trucks would make them bigger, it'd be less trucks on the road.
15:47
How do you figure that there ain't gonna be less trucks on
15:48
the road? There ain't gonna be less.
15:51
There's not gonna be less trucks in the road.
15:52
I don't know where to get this this at your wait time alone to
15:56
load a regular truck can be real lengthy or unloaded truck can be
16:00
real lengthy at times, let alone another another three skits or
16:07
another 11,000 lbs on there. So the rail association, the
16:12
rail associates against every truck bill, HR 3372 and a 10
16:18
year pilot program. I'm going to do a 10 year pilot
16:20
program, which can be extended another 10 years the hell out of
16:23
here. 10 year pilot program. The rail associate called 10
16:27
year pilot program a force, an American short line and heavier
16:32
truck American short line. The region railroad association
16:35
also challenges claims that would lead to fewer trucks on
16:39
the road. So the railroad's saying how's
16:41
it going to lead to rail association, American Short Line
16:44
and Rail association, regional rail association, They're even
16:48
saying how's it going to lead to less trucks on the road?
16:51
Short line of regional railroad trucks and freight rail compete
16:57
for freight every day. Dramatically increasing size and
16:59
weight of the trucks shifts to the economics of freight trains
17:03
and would shift more freight to the public highways.
17:06
So it'll be taken. See, now everything, everything
17:09
falls under the department transportation, OK, whether it's
17:12
trains here in Pennsylvania anyway, whether it's trains,
17:21
trucks, anything that hauls freight, it is subject to weight
17:26
limitations. And yeah, and, and, and these
17:34
and these these are these are subject to weight limitations,
17:37
hours of service and drug and alcohol policies, crazy new
17:46
dangers. America's roads cause disrepair
17:48
on roads, unleash more pollution and greenhouse gases claims.
17:56
So if the increase in trucks is approved, then you know what's
18:01
going to happen. They're going to want they're
18:02
going to want to raise the weight limit on train cars.
18:06
This training course all get weight, They all get weighed.
18:09
They they go over, they have, you know, scales on them, royal
18:14
rails that weigh every train car at certain points and they got
18:17
to be within specs. I think it's shut down just like
18:20
a truck. So and if they increase the rail
18:27
cars, then they're going to be causing stress on the rail
18:29
systems, causing more derailments, stress on engines,
18:32
pointed trains and conductors, Breakers and derailments.
18:39
So there you have it, vote no against HR3372 and now it's time
18:50
for a station break. I should.
18:56
I can't move this up, I gotta and we come back.
19:01
Road rage. hate to meet.

23:06
Road rage. Time for road rage here on road
23:16
rage. A Rage Against a road Rage
23:18
Against issues in the in the news, current events all around
23:23
the world today, the road Rage Against immigration enforcement
23:30
protests. OK, undocumented, we're not
23:35
going to take it. OK, lot of these people came
23:39
here. OK, first, First off, you know,
23:41
what's up with all these people waving all these different flags
23:44
at these protests from different countries?
23:47
It's not the US against these different countries, Mexico from
23:50
South America, from anywhere in the world.
23:53
It's an enforcement of laws that put that we're putting effect
23:57
that holds far as back as the 1700s.
24:00
And you know, other presidential cabinets.
24:03
Let let this go now. Now Obama, he he enforced them.
24:10
I did some, I did my research. You know, every time you do a
24:13
buck as you got to research things.
24:15
He he, he actually did do immigration.
24:22
He did, he did with immigration, immigration reform.
24:26
So he yeah. So that's, that's my deal.
24:29
What's all these different flags, man?
24:30
In the US against nobody or any other country.
24:34
It's enforcement of undocumented immigrants.
24:37
A law that was established said they started these, these these
24:40
laws in the 1700s, man. So 1907 was the first
24:46
immigration law. OK, 1907 and you know,
24:54
definitely the laws were different then, but they had
24:57
immigration was implemented 19/07/1917 to 1921, the first
25:06
emergency quote act in 1917 to limit immigration.
25:13
In 19211942, Greenville, Mexico brought temporary Mexican
25:18
laborers to work in agriculture. 651965 all these different
25:25
revisions to this law, but they're all they're all
25:27
immigration laws and immigration National. 1965 we got the
25:33
Immigration Nationality Act amendments marked beginning of
25:37
modern immigration patterns with more immigrants coming from
25:41
Asia, Africa and Latin America. So 65 we got and a 1980 created
25:47
a formal refugee admissions process, established the process
25:51
for asylum in 1980. So 1986 immigration reform and
25:57
control granted amnesty to 3,000,000 undocumented
26:00
immigrants made it illegal, made it illegal to hire undocumented
26:03
workers. So in 1986 it made it illegal to
26:04
hire undocumented workers, which they weighed the 1986 to duet.
26:11
See the nice things does a lot of things to ourselves.
26:14
They do a lot of things to ourselves, man.
26:17
And they still people still hire, not just in the fields
26:19
they hire. I picked up the places that I
26:21
didn't see. No one spoke on me for anything.
26:23
I mean, they picked up the places if they weren't, they
26:29
were hiring them. Pick places to make boats down
26:32
in nice boats down in. I took a load of seats down
26:36
there to them. And that was the guy said, well,
26:42
he said, well, you see the Amiga come here.
26:45
He said, they all run. So I mean people, people are
26:49
hiring them and we got 19941994 according to what on my research
26:59
is construction of the wall of the US Mexican border from 1994
27:05
and it's still not done, started in 1994.
27:14
So then in 2006, Defense Act signed by George W Bush
27:18
authorized 700 miles of fencing along the border.
27:21
By 2011, much of fencing was done.
27:25
That's only 700 miles of it. In 2017, Trump, OK, Trump had a
27:33
plan to use the military to build this, this, this fence,
27:37
this wall, whatever it takes. OK, Why didn't, why didn't they
27:40
ever do that? They're getting paid anyway.
27:43
How'd the military do it? See a lot, lot of this stuff,
27:46
when they went to put the stuff up, this wall up, this fencing
27:52
up, they were just repairing areas that that that these
27:55
people had, they, they put up before these people had cut
27:58
through and everything else. So that was, you know, OK.
28:06
Right here it is. In 2017, the Trump
28:08
administration expansion made building a wall focus on his
28:11
campaign. Actually, construction began
28:13
2018 mostly replacing older barriers.
28:17
So it is a lot of it's just they're replacing the older
28:20
bears that the people had cut through or coded away or dug
28:23
under wherever the hell have you.
28:24
By two thousand, 21458 miles had been built, mostly upgrades and
28:29
replacements. So most of that was was upgrades
28:33
and replacements. Just like it says.
28:37
I wrote all this shit down. I need a printer.
28:40
All these notes are gone. I write, I do, I do research, I
28:43
write things down. The trucker mouse not as tech
28:46
savvy as the rest of them. I have them a laptop now I got
28:52
to a, you know, it's a nice little laptop.
28:55
I don't have a Wi-Fi, so I got to get that going and I can get
29:02
a printer. Guys said about wireless
29:05
printer. I don't want a damn wireless
29:06
printer. That's just another thing to no
29:09
regular printer and printer. So 2021 and 2023 President Joe
29:14
Biden passed. OK, he put fucking Biden paused
29:18
construction of the wall and then he allowed limited
29:22
construction to resume in high traffic areas.
29:25
Sleepy Joe did that wall start in 1994.
29:32
Trump's modern version began 2018.
29:35
As of today, around 100 and 1112 miles of fencing is complete.
29:41
About 50 per 7 cent. 50 per 7 cent.
29:44
Gee, I can't talk today. 57% of the border has a form of
29:48
barrier. Get the fucking law built, man.
29:52
What's the deal here? Put people to work.
29:55
OK, OK. Then you got, you know, all
30:01
these cities having these protests.
30:03
Now you got, you know, these major cities having protests.
30:06
And I looked up, I looked up sanctuary cities.
30:09
A sanctuary city is a city that doesn't enforce the immigration
30:16
laws as much as they should. And, and I read it up in
30:23
Berkeley, CA Berkeley, CA was the first city to at night.
30:31
I don't think I wrote it down. I forget what year it was 1971
30:35
and that and that was to protect draft resistors, people who
30:45
resisted the draft, Berkeley, CA, San Francisco followed and
30:49
then LA. So these California cities who
30:52
got the most, you know, immigration problems or, or the
30:55
first sanctuary cities and I looked up, I looked up on, you
30:59
know, my ChatGPT and all that, all your major cities that seem
31:02
to be sanctuary cities now. I don't know, Chicago, sanctuary
31:09
city, New York City, Denver and Boston have the most immigration
31:16
protests right now. Then Texas, Dallas, San Antonio,
31:19
Houston, Seattle, Philadelphia, Detroit and Atlanta.
31:24
Like I said, and, and, and also and also I must say that these
31:27
ICE officials and these immigration people, they got to
31:30
be professional in what they do. You just can't go and RIP
31:33
somebody out of their house. You got to, you got to identify
31:36
yourself, you know, do the right thing too.
31:38
I mean, you're telling these people do the right thing.
31:40
You just do the right thing. Also, you're going there giving
31:42
people a little respect because a lot of them deserve it.
31:46
A lot of them been here for years and years, raised
31:47
families, But immigration hurts everybody.
31:52
And, and, and, and it's, it's, they're strained on public
31:55
services like hospitals, schools or housing and people using
31:58
services without paying taxes. So in the end, in the end, you
32:03
know, we all we all pay for undocumented immigrants in a way
32:10
in our different in our different states.
32:13
You know, then you got you got these illegals, they're they're
32:15
accepting jobs and lower wages, which can undercut job
32:19
opportunities for legal residents to hire these people
32:22
with five hours less now or I don't know, just say you got a
32:25
Mason, guy's a Mason, He's an undocumented.
32:28
He's going to work a lot less than than an American citizen.
32:38
So you got law enforcement legals, lot of lot of these
32:41
areas with a lot of your illegals they're afraid of,
32:44
they're afraid of contact with the police.
32:47
So when things happen, they don't report it to the police,
32:50
which makes areas more unsafe. But actually, actually now now
32:56
I'm going to get to a flip of this is the good things that
32:59
undocumented immigrants contribute to things also in a
33:02
good way. It this is, this is, this is the
33:04
flip side of that. OK.
33:06
And, and definitely not all these people are bad.
33:09
Not all are bad at all. But you know, there's a pathway
33:13
to citizenship and that's what that's what you have to do.
33:17
And there's definitely going to be some casualties in this.
33:19
I mean, there's some people that came here to raise families or,
33:22
or, or very productive and never bothered nobody.
33:25
But that's the fact of the matter is you're you're
33:27
undocumented, man. I mean, so labor force support
33:34
undocumented immigrants take jobs where there is a labor
33:37
shortage like, you know, your farm, your agriculture,
33:39
construction and cleaning food services at, at lower, you know,
33:43
and, and lower prices, You know, they, they take these jobs and
33:46
they're, you know, they help out in that way.
33:50
That's a good thing about it, because a lot of people don't
33:52
want to do these jobs. Construction cleanup, you know,
33:55
minor construction work, cleaning food services, you
33:58
know, they do a lot of thing to good and there's definitely a
34:03
lot of you know, I'm definitely not saying that that that all
34:05
these people are bad because there's a lot of them that are
34:07
probably better than some, probably better than some
34:11
freaking Americans citizens lower prices, cost of goods and
34:19
services and farming in your hospitality.
34:22
They help out in that in that area a lot tax contributions.
34:26
I didn't know about this until I started researching this right.
34:30
A lot of these immigrants undocumented have fake or
34:32
borrowed Social Security number and the Social Security
34:35
Administration estimates that undocuments pay billions and
34:39
allies Social Security even though they can't collect
34:41
benefits. So they got these, these Social
34:45
Security cards that they got, they got somehow and they're
34:49
using that number to pay in. And they said that the, the,
34:56
the, they're paying them billions a year annually to the
34:59
Social Security, even though they can't collect benefits.
35:02
So that's a good thing that they do.
35:08
I don't know if they know they're doing a good thing, but
35:11
they are at least they have, at least they have that.
35:13
See, desperate people do desperate things.
35:16
If you're in this country and just say, just say your, your
35:19
back's against the wall. You have, you know, a couple
35:22
little kids or something and, and you know, you're going to do
35:24
what you have to do to try to make some money.
35:27
I've been, I've been homeless for a short period of time.
35:29
And, and, and if someone would have told me, you know, hey, can
35:33
you give me some hubcaps or something like that, a bomb from
35:35
me or something? I mean, the sad thing about is
35:38
I, I've might have did it. I mean, I don't know.
35:41
I didn't know, I didn't do anything like that.
35:43
But yeah, they, they contribute for your social administration,
35:48
contribute billions. They only Social Security also
35:52
to contribute to cultural and community immigration,
35:56
regardless of status, contribute cultural diversity, open small
36:00
businesses and revitalize neighborhoods.
36:02
So they add diversity to to these these cities and they open
36:10
restaurants, a lot of cuisine. You know, we have restaurants
36:14
here in my city around near and Indian food.
36:18
You have some as an African restaurant there, a store
36:22
actually in town food, I mean they contribute like that,
36:28
whereas we wouldn't have that food before.
36:32
So crime rates are not higher, contradicting the status quo in,
36:39
in areas that that immigration is, is is is large areas where
36:47
immigration is, is big. The crime rate according to
36:52
according to what I researched, is not higher, contradictable
36:56
status quo. So immigration, including
37:00
undocumented, are less likely to commit crimes because they don't
37:03
want on the radar. And that's what's going on with
37:06
a lot of these people that they're they're scooping up,
37:07
they put themselves on the radar for this or that, whatever.
37:13
And, and, and they know, they know you're undocumented.
37:16
And then you know, you knew it was only a matter of time, OK?
37:22
They, they, they've been saying, they're cracking down.
37:23
They've been saying, and you have to, you have to pop out of
37:33
law. So immigration, including
37:36
undocuments, are less late, commit crimes, OK.
37:38
Areas with higher immigration populations often have lower
37:41
crime rates. Immigrations tend to avoid law
37:43
enforcement because like I said, they're afraid to get put on the
37:46
radar. And you know, there, like I
37:52
said, there's definitely some some casualties in in this in
37:54
this in doing what's going on right now with the the ICE
37:59
raids. But yeah, I don't remember
38:01
whoever they thought that sanctuary cities.
38:07
OK, I understand for draft dodgers now, of course, I went
38:11
around back there when Vietnam was drafting.
38:13
But you know, how how'd it turn into a refugee camp for Pill
38:17
eagles? I mean, we should have this
38:20
should have been enforced. This shouldn't have come to
38:22
this. Nothing should have come to
38:24
nothing. But the US, we do a lot of
38:27
things ourselves, the steel industry with the trucker mouse
38:30
opinion. All right, well, trucker mouse
38:33
final thoughts is, look, there's a path to citizenship.
38:37
It might be difficult, you know, it might be lengthy, but it's
38:42
the right thing to do. Millions of millions of them
38:45
document against millions of undocumented immigrants have
38:49
took the path to citizenship and are naturalized and naturalize
38:53
the one to see them around right here every year.
38:55
I just seen on news and naturalized some in a city not
38:59
far from here, a bunch of them. It's a class every year they do
39:02
it too. So there's a due process and a
39:10
lot, you know, millions of undocumented immigrants have
39:12
gone through these naturalization classes and all
39:16
that and, and are and are productive Citizens United
39:19
States. And that's just, and that's
39:22
just, it's a law. So.
