those bulked up the numbers for Trump, I mean, for Biden, frankly. So, we're going to see significant numbers of people, but it's not just numbers, it's who's getting deported. Because they're starting, they're pursuing a worst first policy, you know, the gangbangers and what have you. But most illegal immigrants aren't gangbangers, they're just regular working students.

Those people have to go, too. And that's going to happen once they start doing worksite enforcement, rains on factories and what have you. And that's coming. Oman said it's coming.

The first thing to keep in mind is anything like that would be a process, not an event. In other words, it's not as though you're going to wake up one morning and all the illegal aliens are gone. It's going to be a process of sort of continual enforcement whittling down the illegal population and causing significant numbers of people to go home on their own so they avoid arrest.
