So we know people are doing this because we know most people, most adults in this country, at least those who are able to work, do in fact have jobs. So this is no mystery. We also know that, I don't know, I think it's maybe 160, 170 million people have passports. To get a passport you got to provide. Obviously you can't provide a passport to get a passport unless you've already got one that hasn't yet expired, then it will serve as proof. (1:26:43–1:26:47)
