Now, I have not gotten any official word that they're going to not be sending illegal aliens there. I mean, the way it's worked, we haven't sent anyone at the state. The feds determine who goes there, then the state handles the processing and the staging, and then the feds take them and send them back to their home country. And it's worked very, very well. If they have an ability to handle these folks without that, then that's fine. We're happy to help. We want to help. (28:50–29:00)
