So I want to thank both the member, the chairman and the ranking member to directing the department to consider how we can look at the current discretionary grant programs to assist local communities to address this. As an example, I'll give you The Port of Laredo, the largest port of entry that we have. Last year it was over $339 billion. Right now, every day they handle between 18,000 to 20,000 commercial trucks a day. I'll repeat again, 18,000 or 20,000 commercial trucks a day. (01:04–01:12)
