[0:00]we're going to grow our economy, we're going to make our country more secure, we'll strengthen our families. And most importantly, we will live a, most importantly, we will live up Most, most importantly, we will live up to our character as a nation.
[0:19]That's, that's, that's exactly what we're talking about, yeah. That's why we're here.
[0:41]Actually I don't. And that's why we're here. Okay. Thank you. All right. What I'd like to do, no, no, don't worry about it, guys. Okay, let me finish. Let me, let me. How about, we these guys don't need to go. Let me finish. I respect the passion of these young people. Because they feel deeply about the concerns for their families. Now what you need to know when I'm speaking as President of the United States and I come to this community is that if, in fact, I could solve all these problems without passing laws in Congress, then I would do so. But we're also a nation of laws. That's part of our tradition. And so, the easy way out is to try to yell and pretend like I can do something by violating our laws. And what I'm proposing is the harder path, which is to use our democratic processes to achieve the same goal that you want to achieve, but it won't be as easy as just shouting. It requires us lobbying and getting it done.
[2:02]So, the, uh,
[2:07]So, for those of you who are committed to getting this done, I am going to march with you and fight with you every step of the way to make sure that we are welcoming every striving hard-working immigrant who sees America the same way we do. As the country where no matter who you are, where you, what you look like, or where you come from, you can make it if you try. And if you're serious about making that happen, then I'm ready to work with you. But it is going to require work. It is not simply a matter of us just saying, we're going to violate the law. That's not our tradition. But the great thing about this country is we have this wonderful process of democracy, and sometimes it's messy, and sometimes it is hard. But ultimately, justice and truth went out. That's always been the case in this country. That's going to continue to be the case today.
