I can go back to 1959, 1960, 61, when people were fleeing Cuba, and we could go on and on. So those people, you know, came in on this and were granted legal status. The Haitians that we have here have been granted, we think most of them, at least, certainly the ones working, have been granted legal status because they come from Haiti. They're not on a path to citizenship, and they're granted that for a period of time. Seems to me that's on the legal side. (32:46–32:58)
