I don't believe we are going to get $10 billion or $20 billion funded in 1 year. I don't think that is possible. We begin to break chain migration within the DACA population. We limit green cards to nuclear families, which is a down payment on a merit-based immigration system. We eliminate the diversity lottery because it is a bad way to give out visas, and we took those 50,000 visas and said: Why don't we do the following: Create a merit-based program for underserved countries, which are mostly in Africa. Here is what I believe: merit-based immigration all over the world, not just in Europe. What has made us special and unique is that we come from everywhere. We are nobodies where we came from, and we can be a somebody here.
