00:09:45.580It's not necessarily about the immigrants themselves.
00:09:48.320It is about the right of a people to determine who comes in, which peoples are going to be more easily assimilated,
00:09:56.120and whether or not we want to continue to import lots of foreign people,
00:10:00.680especially when we have the highest foreign foreign percentage of the population ever,
00:10:04.260though thanks to the Trump administration, that is going down a little bit.
00:10:07.380In 50 years, if we get the foreign-born percentage of the population way, way down,
00:10:10.920and there's some pressing reason to bring in more foreigners from this culture or that,1.00
00:10:14.640there's an argument for that. The immigration policy doesn't need to be one thing for all time.
00:10:20.360Politics just responds to changing circumstances. So it's totally fine. People should eschew
00:10:26.660a vulgar kind of racism, but we should treat the immigration issue seriously,
00:10:32.420And we should recognize that different cultures are qualitatively different than others, and that actually factors into the immigration discussion as well.
00:10:39.500It's actually a sign of the times, and it's a sign of the significance of this issue, that when I was a kid, the immigration issue was you could either support way more legal immigration or way more legal immigration and illegal immigration.
00:10:52.340And now that's shifted to the point that we're discussing, okay, do we want to restrict legal immigration or do we want to restrict legal immigration from specific countries?
00:11:00.360You know, that's a major shift in the Overton window, and I think that is inevitable. I don't think there's anything intrinsically racist or whatever about it.
00:11:07.900Okay, the funny thing about singling out the Indians here, though, is that Asians actually are discriminated against in university admissions policies.
00:11:18.420So it's not – the argument coming from a lot of people is these Americans, a regular white boy from the middle of the country, he doesn't get into the public schools anymore because his spot is being taken by Asian students.
00:11:30.860But the irony is that the white students and the Asian students are in exactly the same place.
00:11:35.320They're both being discriminated against by the schools.
