This is a difficult situation because if you just took 18 or call it 20 million people, including the 500,000 that have done crimes and they should, everybody agrees they should be gone. I mean, they're here illegally and they broke the law.

So they're either going to end up serving time in an American prison when they're caught, or they're going to go somewhere else back to their native homeland. We'll see how that works out.

Now, this same issue occurred in Europe years ago when they brought workers in into places like France, where they found a way to give them employment because they were willing to sponsor them. I don't know if we're going to get to that place here, because you made the numbers very clear.
