I think we should. So New York Times, of all outlets, had a poll that said it's like 80% believe that criminals, terrorists, people who have committed bad offenses should be the hell out of here. Yeah, easy one to have consensus on, yeah. No, but then it starts to drop down, which is the next one is, oh, I forget what the second one is.
