I think we should try to distinguish ourselves as much as possible by quantifying our argument, as the girl in the video attempted to. Besides our nubmers being obviously substantially lower than those who will fall under the CIR category, our potential individual economic contributions are substantially higher than the migrant farm worker. And of course there are more quantifiable arguments than those two, but I think an emphasis should be placed here rather than trying to appeal these politician's hearts/emotions. Since they obviously have none....
