Right. Right. I will tell you why in a second. That night it was cold, really cold, unseasonably cold in south Texas. It was raining cats and dogs. We are in the van, and they are taking us down there. I have been down there many times. We see it. It is cleaned up. They have moved 12,000 people in 24 hours because you guys, you yahoos are coming down there the next day and Secretary Mayorkas was down there yesterday. They cleaned it up. We can't have this. The media is coming down, a big gaggle of media, they can't see this. We can't have this, so they cleaned it up. They actually mowed the grass. I asked the guy, I said: Where's the garbage, man? I know there is garbage. I know there is clothing. As we are driving along, there is this massive pile of clothing. Did you see it, Bob? I said: Hey, is this one of the piles of clothing? Yeah, that is one of the piles right there. As we are going down, there are people all along the way there, right? That is what you see. Now, why did you not see anybody? We met the next day with a lot of folks you didn't get to meet with-- sorry--one of which informed us very clearly that the flow of people at the ports of entry are controlled by the CBP One app, so they will give you a green light.
