I think the interesting thing here, and I will just say this--I am not ready to close--but at this point in time, I think one of the issues that has been said today, it should be noted that DHS has actually no mechanism to send anyone back to Venezuela right now. The channels for getting people back to Venezuela are not there, so deportation is not happening, especially now, because we have no mechanism to do that. So that is something later on, the merits of the bill either way. I am not wanting to engage in a colloquy. I am just trying to see if the gentlewoman has her speaker here.
