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?

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?
