Thank you, Mr. Chair. I want to apologize for being late. It's great to see you in this role.
I want to thank our witnesses for the excellent testimony.
Ms. Gerente, I would like to start with you. I thought you were very eloquent and powerful. You speak to what, to me, immigration in this country should be: that we give opportunity to young people to build a future.
I want to ask you about your experience. You were talking about the abuses of the people you know that are going on in the system, on the front lines. What kind of support is there? Are they told their rights? Are they aware that they have rights? Or in fact are they a secondary class of workers who can be abused?
