We're taking the same position as the previous government in terms of not recognizing undocumented workers and regularizing them. What we're doing that's different is we're offering a pathway for temporary workers to become permanent residents. That's something I'm committed to. I know the country needs it. And I think the public likes the idea of people who don't have a degree being able to come to this country and contribute the way that our grandparents, parents, and great-grandparents have done.
