Senator, I understand that you've asked for that information from the Department of Justice. Your answer is no. We are obtaining that information. Okay, so your answer is, I've got it. I don't have. Since 2009, we have returned roughly 16.8 or 16,800 children out of 174,000 unaccompanied minors who have come to this country. So that's a rate of 9.6%. So more than 90% of those children are still in this country. Now, over time, it has really declined. So in 2009, we returned about 23,000. (02:00–02:12)
