Yeah, I don't know what to attribute that. I mean, yeah, I mean, I think we would just be guessing, but I think it's because We have legislation in place that basically says if you don't do maximum participation with federal immigration authorities, that can constitute a neglect of duty, which would trigger the governor's ability to suspend you from office. I think that's why you don't have as many complaints, because I think that there's a total disincentive for any law enforcement agency or a mayor to be flagrantly disregarding state immigration authority.
