Here's my main concern. If we can put up a chart that we've prepared here. We've seen the results of deferred action in the past, and I think it's relatively stark. We had unaccompanied children coming across the border historically, but the numbers were actually declining until basically 2012, when President Obama issued the first series or his agencies, his members of his administration, issued memos on deferred action on childhood admissions. And I think just pictorially, graphically, it's pretty stark what the result was. We had a flooding of unaccompanied children to our border, creating that humanitarian crisis. (03:44–04:04)
