We have to recognize what our policies are doing. When I we took a trip down to Central America, visited Guatemala and Honduras with Senator Heitkamp, Senator Carper, Senator Peters, in meeting with The President of Honduras, one of his requests of our delegation was, would you please look at your laws and end the ambiguity in your laws that actually incentivize our children, their future from leaving their countries and coming to America. And again, the tragedy is they come into some of these circumstances because, let me repeat it one more time. We become efficient at processing and dispersing and sweeping this under the rug.
