You know, we set it up as an assist for the federal government who didn't have the wherewithal to be able to stage and house and stage illegal aliens prior to deportation. And so We have done that. I think it's been 22, 23, 24,000, maybe 25,000 who would have been released into Florida communities, but instead were processed and deported from there. And there's no question that that saved lives. No question that's been good for public safety. No question that that relieved burdens on taxpayers, whether it's schooling, medical care, all these other things. (41:24–41:38)
