Okay. Again, no, you're missing the mark. Our goal needs to stop the flow. Right now, we have to deal with 57,000 unaccompanied miners that came to this country. Secretary Johnson said it would be 90,000 potentially by the end of this fiscal year, over 100,000 by the beginning of 2015. We have to stop the flow. That's the achievable goal. I don't think we can achieve solving the drug problem or improving their economies or reducing violence in these. (01:14–01:21)
