00:00Microsoft is one of those companies has push quite hard against the sort of current flavor of immigrant bashing. Do you think that that has been changed in America. I think first of all the America is a country of immigrants. It's a nation formed by immigrants. And to me even I look at the contribution that immigrants even going forward can make is something that I think the United States should be absolutely tapping into. And so that is what I speak to. And you know that's what I think Microsoft has benefited from it. I personally have benefited from it. So we're clear in terms of why immigration and enlightened immigration policy continuing the United States is perhaps one of the most important things for its own competitive or not. Do you worry that it's now getting slightly unenlightened. Not really. I mean I think still America is the place where people want to come to. One of the things that's happening is every country is three thinking what is it. It's in their national interests. Borders are real people. Think about immigration policies that help. But I think in there they have to maintain that modicum of enlightenment and not think about it very narrowly. And that's what is I think made it possible for those values that have helped people come be the attractor. It's not about you know people only will come when people know that you're an immigrant friendly country .
