The one thing that they can't manifest is a magically more professional immigration bureau because they've staffed it.
Well, that's what I mean, because part of this, again, is like they've staffed up too quickly and they've ramped up too quickly and they've recruited people that are either some combination of unqualified or ill-tempered and poorly trained.

Protesters, that's also where you've seen some of the confrontations between protesters and law enforcement.
And we talked to two guys from Minnesota, one who's been kind of out here protesting for a while, another, it was his first time he'd ever been to a protest.
