the president put out a statement to the american people, i want to read the this increases historically low number set by the previous administration of 15,000 which did not reflect america's values as a nation about was in supports refugees. >> the president has been committed to the refugee program and rebuilding it. we had to start a humanitarian process while we rebuild the system in its entirety. we know how to do this and it takes time. here we are on may 3rd in a dramatically different situation. >> just a few weeks ago president biden announced 15,000 but it was temporary after heavy blowback by democrats, president biden has broken his promise to restore our humanity, senator dick durbin from illinois wrote say it ain't so, this is for the

15,000 number that was the original plan, the 62,000 refugees come from countries around the world. to be clear it is a different process than we are seeing at the southern border where people show up unannounced, seeking asylum in these situations with refugees from all over the world that it in their home country then given the green light to come through. to combat the problem at the southern border the administration sending money to central american countries that help with those root causes of migration. house republicans say the strategy caused by biden administration policies is naïve and misguided as far as immigration reform, the majority leader in the senate in the new york times is considering the

accelerate rapidly. you can do whatever you like so the ratio of left professors to write professors jumps within 5 years to 8-1 and then continues, latest study suggests 15 to 1 but if you look at the junior ranks, associate professors, most recently hired ones, the ratio among those is 50-1. will: the number one goal of higher education should be to prepare young people for their career, to prepare them to make money. wide to parents continually keep the money spigot on to colleges and universities without demanding change?

whatever a business earns is going to directly hit your tax returns. so, when under the biden plan where taxes are going to be significantly increased for individual who make over $400,000 a year, and keep in mind a lot of this is business owners, when these incremental earnings would be going to the government as opposed to being able to spend it on equipment to hire more people, it's going to make you less competitive against the rest of the world. jillian: sean, before we get to you, rocky, i do have one last question for you. tell me about your business. i understand this is a third generation 74-year-old company. what does your business do. >> kinetic is an industrial knife manufacturer, it's kind of a jewel in greendale, wisconsin. what an industrial knife is we make knives that go into equipment that go into tissue mills and do things like cut toilet paper, perforate toilet

paper, wet wipes, paper towels, things along those lines and also have a lot of application for steel mills for cutting and splitting steel and things along those lines. so it's a third generation company and there is a fourth generation working here as well. jillian: stuff people all across the country use. todd: your state voted for biden and harris. look we all want better roads and bridges. do the people of wisconsin really want high taxes and an infrastructure package that, quite frankly, is based around the green new deal? >> well, first, rocky is right, this is going to impact jobs in our wisconsin economy. but here we have a lot of common sense midwestern common sense. the situation is we understand that a lot of this money isn't going to go to roads and bridges and infrastructure. as you mentioned, todd, this goes to things like the green new deal. in our state we work hard for our money. we really watch our pennies and we are frugal people. to think we are going to spend

$10 trillion and only auto portion goes to infrastructure. we look back to the 2009 stimulus package with $850 billion shovel ready jobs. that money didn't go to infrastructure projects. so i think this is a hard sell. one other point, we are almost $30 trillion in debt. wisconsinites are smart enough to understand there is not enough millionaires and billionaires to pay the tax off. the tax man is going for all of to us pay this massive debt. get good value because we are going to pay for it. not the rich people this. have will be summarily rejected by folks in our state. jillian: you heard rockie describing his company and how long it's been in the family and what he does. i have to imagine a lot of people in wisconsin have those businesses that mean so much to them that they have put their blood, sweat, and tears into, over generations, and then to be faced with, you know, tax hikes and things like this. i imagine it's probably devastating for them. todd: rockie is going to be fine, right?

it's a family business. is he frugal and run as great business. the problem is the families that work for him are the ones that will be impacted because they are the ones new investments in connecticut. the new expansion jobs that won't be created because biden-harris want to take those dollars away from him and his community. it's the greater community in wisconsin that's hurt. business owners they will survive. it's the families that rely on those businesses that can hurt the most. todd: rocky about to end the show here. 15 seconds on the answer. is there anything that can allay your concerns. >> i am going to say no. they haven't been transparent yet throughout this entire process and it's going to be a very costly experience for business owners. jillian: okay. sean duffy thank you very much. rocky sperka there is thawls
