So it's going to let us find beds because every person we arrest, we've got to bed them before we get travel docs and send them home. So it's going to buy us more beds. It's going to buy us more vehicles. It's going to increase ICE by 10,000, which we need. Right now there's 6,000 ERO officers compared to 20 million illegal aliens. So we've got a big hill to climb, so it's going to add more agents.

It's going to add more money for more beds. It's going to add money for more transport. both over the ground bus transport in the interior, plus international flights is going to add money to that. It's also going to allow us to build out more contract work.

So rather than a badge and gun with title eight authority, immigration authority sitting doing administrative job, let's get a contract to do that job and put that badge and gun on the street. So allow us for all these things so we can continue doing what we're doing. increase the interior enforcement arrest, as the American people have mandated President Trump to do.

It's going to let us finish the job we started. We're doing great, but we need more money. The more money we have, the more good stuff we can do.

I'd like to see more, but right now we're hurting for every dollar that we can get. Right now, this morning I woke up and looked at empty beds. We've got about 2,800 empty beds right now. We'll fill them in three days. So we need money quickly to buy more beds, or everything stops. I'll take whatever we can get because, you know, every dollar we got means we can do more work.

I'd like to see, like you said earlier, $150 billion just on border and interior enforcement. But we'll see when the final number comes out. But, you know, we need desperately the money right now. I think ICE is in the hole. you know, a half a billion dollars. I think they're in the hole almost 500 million dollars because we got over 52,000 in detention. We're funded at 34.

So we're already in the hole. So a lot of this money is going to be, you know, getting ice out of the hole plus adding beds to get above the line. So we desperately need money. So I hope the final number is bigger than that, but I'll take what we can get.

Well, half a million is absolutely realistic. We're shooting for a million, but a half a million is realistic and lucky enough. But sanctuary cities, they put speed bumps in on us. Because red and the rest of them, bad guy in the county jail, now we got to go to community and find him. Somebody don't want to be found. That slows us down.

We had district court judges issuing nationwide injunctions against our enforcement operations. That slows us down. But again, it's all about manpower. It's all about more money for manpower, more market targeting. There's a lot of smart companies out there, a lot of smart businesses out there. with the most recent technology to help us find those people that don't want to be found.

So bring some of these contracts up, help improve targeting. But the most important thing is resources, beds, planes, buses, and boots on the ground. And this bill will get us there. It'll get us the resources we need. I'm looking to do three times more than we're currently doing. So the numbers are hard, the Biden's numbers. I should be happy with that, but I'm not. I'm not satisfied.
