Absolutely, 100 percent. Do you know how we know they have been emboldened? Because it used to be they would have the coyotes take the people up and locate them in the U.S. They don't do that anymore. The coyotes take them up, they put them on the border and say, ``We don't have to go in with you. Go in. Go in with your cell phone.'' Oh, by the way, Biden administration says now they are going to give away a cell phone to every illegal alien crossing the border. But they will just come across. I have seen it; you have all seen it. They are walking across, they are FaceTiming their friends back home: ``Yeah, I made it in.'' They are dressed nice; they are dressed clean. The cartels are emboldened not just at the southern border any longer. This is spilling over into the country, and we are seeing violence along the border because of it, and you are seeing cartel members ship all over. If there are drugs being distributed anywhere in the United States, you have got cartels there.
