Can't stone your bucket where you are. We come from France.

They're coming in by the thousands.

Just unbelievable.

A wall is an immorality.

Who are you rooting for it?

Those masters of the universe are added again.

They're not sending their best.

You're a maniac.

You blow it up.

Welcome to parsing immigration policy, the podcast of the Center for Immigration Studies.

My name is Mark McCorrie, an executive director of the center.

And this week, we have an interview I did with Congressman Brandon Gill of Texas, who is in his first term, but has really
