And that's another complicated aspect of this, that because, like, you know, you come here either illegally or solicit asylum, then going back to your country sometimes becomes difficult.

These are good people.
They're not all criminals.

under Biden was there was just no enforcement once people were inside of the country.
You look at the data, deportations inside of the country, interior enforcement.
In Obama's first term, it was like 200,000 a year.
Then by Trump's first term, it was like 100,000.
Then by Biden's term, it was 50,000.
Basically, once you get into the country,
You don't get deported.
