Bryan, considering your arguments for more open immigration policies and my impression that you support Pareto optimality as a reasonable metric, how do you reconcile this with public concerns about unconstrained illegal immigration, particularly regarding the entry of criminal organizations such as Venezuelan gangs and Mexican drug cartels into the U.S. and the resulting decline of high trust communities into lower trust environments? Given these challenges, do you believe there are any limits to immigration that could be justified by your economic principles to maintain both economic benefits and the safety of high trust communities?
