Right. Something that was extremely important was a compromise between the most conservative Republicans and Democrats to make sure that we brought some effort. This is something that the border Patrol wanted and endorsed. It would have brought more than a couple. It would have brought thousands of border patrol agents, thousands of asylum judges, thousands of ice agents, as well as the technology that we needed out of ports, of entries.
