I am just saying from personal experience, what is said and what has been done are two different things. I think the one thing that we want these Chambers to have is that dose of reality of what really is going on out there. I just have to say, there is a lot of talk about it in the last 2 years. But what has been said and what is actually happening as somebody who every week I go to the border and talk with immigration agents, please be aware as somebody who cares about proper immigration legislation. We got to make sure that the border finds out about it and that the administration is doing what is being said, and that is all I am asking.
