Obviously, President Trump and the work that he's done, Mark Wayne Mullen and what he's doing as Secretary of Homeland Security to be able to secure our borders makes an incredible difference. It wasn't that long ago, during the end of the Biden administration, we saw 10,000 people a day illegally coming into the country. And now the borders are closed. We don't see that. So there is a big difference. Now the question is, for a future administration, will they reopen the borders just like President Biden did, and we'll have a flood of people coming. (03:15–03:22)
