Yeah, as I mentioned, we were just down there a couple weeks ago trying to get a lay of the land down there. And the number one thing I took away is that 30 or 40 years ago, the last time we actually had immigration laws put in place, there were individual people making individual decisions about coming over and going back. Now there's basically a human trafficking industrial complex that is just being really, really destructive. So whether these human traffickers or these cartels, whether they're running marijuana, whether they're running fentanyl or whether they're running pe, sadly they don't really care. (20:38–20:47)
