Well, the promises made by the President were that he was going to pay attention to the American worker, and that's why you're seeing American-born jobs be increased. When you look up at the last administration, as you mentioned, under President Biden, 50% of those jobs went to foreign-born workers. That's not a promise that the President made to the American people. He said, "I'm going to focus on you." Every decision that the Department of Labor makes, and every decision in conjunction with this administration, puts the American worker at the pinnacle of every decision, and that's what's important to them, to know that they're being put first. He attended the Steelworkers Mill. I was with him there. I have been to the RV capital in Indiana. I have been to Michigan. I have been to Pennsylvania. Manufacturing jobs, the investments there on the ground. I've worked closely with the other secretaries. Lee Zeldin and I are talking about deregulation. The Department of Labor just took 63 deregulation actions in order to cut the red tape so that companies can invest more so these jobs can grow. That's what they wanted to see. That was the promise that the President made to the American people, and that's what he's delivering on.
