Rep. Anna Paulina Luna

And that's part of the problem is there's been such an influx and such a bog down of the actual system that our actual system is not functioning at the capacity that it should to actually help people come here the correct way.

Like a doctor.

I do think that unless we are able to, A, assign probably more lawyers, more judges to actually hear these cases, it's going to continue to be a problem.

And I have heard, okay, on the floor, these are conversations between members, that to a certain extent, especially when you're talking about, you know, like an e-verify system within the ag industry, that actually members of that committee don't want that because they know that the farmers are actually heavily relying on some of these illegals to work in their fields.

So I can confirm that.

Well, yeah, because you don't have the decrease in wages.

However, I think the bigger problem that we have here, though, is that at least specifically in my district and then also to having argued this is that this gray area that's been created, in my opinion, they don't want a solution for.

They do it intentionally with the understanding that both sides are going to fundraise off of it.

In my opinion, if I was to be able to actually fix this, I would say that you have to, I would say, pause, let the system run through, take everyone in, vet them, make sure that they're not criminals, etc.

But then the system allows time for it to actually catch up to itself and then you can continue as is.

And you know what's crazy is most elected officials might send out that email, but the email fundraisers actually are taking like 80% of that dollar.

That's like usually the average.

And it's like, I'm in the wrong business.

This is crazy.

Who is it?

Spencer.

Is this Spencer Pratt?

I was like Spencer Pratt for governor.

And then they promised all these celebrities are like, yeah, donate.

We'll give it to the victims.
