Right, but we are not seeing the large influx of Nicaraguans or folks from Costa Rica or Belize, Nicaragua obviously having a very tough economy right now, as well.

Do you assume that a majority of those that are coming, then, as family members, are connected in some way as family or connection to those that were given temporary protected status before?

I think it is pretty commonly understood that the population that is here without documentation... are really from four countries.

Has there been a breakdown that you have seen that you would consider reliable within the United States of where these different groups land?
