Thank you. panel. One of the arguments for not being as tough in enforcing the law especially at the border Is that in the years past there was a lot of circular migration especially from Mexico and Central America. people who came here. worked for a while and then went back home. It wasnt hard for them to continue that process. but once we began strong border enforcement. then they were stuck and stayed. I dont know that there is any evidence to support that or refute it. but it has been the basis for a lot of people talking about this concept of circularity. and I want to get back to that concept and also ask you this question in view of the fact that at least a couple of you are very skeptical that a temporary worker program really ends up being temporary because people dont want to go home. I mean. what I just said may to some extent refute that. but clearly there are people that probably fall into both categories.
