the process doesn't understand the importance and significance of being an american because when you come to the united states as a refugee you don't come here because of the benefits they offer you but to embrace america and judeo-christian values, to become an american and we diluted the significance. shannon: we are glad you are here. let's pull up the president yesterday, the sad truth is we cannot achieve 62,500 admissions this year. we working quickly to undo the damage of the last four years to reach the goal of 120,000 refugees that i intend to set for the coming fiscal year, the difference between donald trump and president biden, significant number. what do you think a number like this means? what does this do to our country?

>> the first question is how does it benefit the united states to increase this number? what community does it hurt? most hurt the minorities of the united states. the question is this. why freeze the number of refugees? what is the infant? the intent is we need a permanent underclass in the united states to be dependent on the government to create a voting block. so we should understand the intent, to get people of misery and suffering, they want to make sure it is possible to increase voting block for the next election. >> do you see this increasing? always like you give an inch you take a mile? >> the american people should decide this. do we need that number of

still doing virtual learning or hybrid school board don't have day care for their kids. we estimate we've lost 22% of our hospitality workers to other industries because even during the pandemic those other industry still had job openings so we lost now at a critical time when we are trying to get back on pace to open up and gear up for the summer we can't find the staff and finally in wisconsin the other thing is we have flat population growth, unemployment rate in march was 3.8% so we really don't have the people to fill the jobs that we have. >> what is the solution? >> i don't know. this is something i discussed with my fellow restaurateurs every day. we tried everything.

i would love to see the forces that be tried to come to the table with people in our industry and learn more about the struggles we have. we have a unique business model, not like the normal business and so our needs are little different. i have a 7 day a week restaurant that can only operate 5 days a week and dinner only because i can't staff. it will affect our industry in a serious way if we don't do something. >> the powers that be, 15 seconds on the final question, one of those powers that be kamala harris coming to your state today, what do you want her to say on this? >> to open up especially for that critical tourist season. we need some relief so restaurants can open up and not reach protection so they open up dining in wisconsin. >> one of my favorite places to travel is wisconsin because the food is amazing. i certainly hope the fine folks
