I mean, I kind of forced the invitation. Did you go? I kept saying, I want to go. I want to go. No, I'm working on it now, because what I don't want is what I saw with Dr. Phil, OK? No disrespect to Dr. Phil. That's not what it's about. But I'm not going there as a propagandist for ICE raids. I want to show the reality over time.

Murphy's playing on something that's not a bad game, which is you're also going to sweep up the wrong people. You're going to people who entered here illegally, but they've done everything right since then. And that is not the threat to the country that was being initially articulated. That'll happen. But I don't want this to be a one-off every time where an exception is being made the rule.

Where they're going to get people, it's not like they're doing what I thought they were going to do, which is the police tell us this is where the MS-13 guys are hanging out. This is where they live. We know where they are. We just don't go after them because it's like a big deal. Yeah.

And that's what they're doing. They're going to a place and they're getting people who are also there with other illegal entrants. So they're getting like eight people when they were looking for one specifically. What do you mean they're there with other illegal entrants?
